LIVE RADIO NOW: Eric Garner case proves it is a change of the American heart that is needed

This week’s show

Eric Garner case proves it is a change of the American heart that is needed

Today I am going to discuss the Eric Garner killing by New York Police Department officer Daniel Pantaleo. Much is made about having cameras solving much of the problem. While it is true that in departments where cameras are used there is empirical evidence that it reduces both police brutality and complaints against police, the reality is that is a different issue.

There was clear evidence of a murder that appeared on video. American citizens who saw that video chose not to hold the officer accountable. They saw a murder and refused to indict. The only reason one could watch that video and not indict is to internally deny the humanity of the murdered.

What are your thoughts? Let’s talk. I will also be following our hash-tag #PoliticsDoneRight on Twitter. Give me a call.
