Eric Garner's niece is my friend. I have seen the cell phone recording of the confrontation before until his dying breath. He had been known in the neighborhood as the go-to guy for loosies (individual cigarettes) to people who can't afford NYC highly taxed cigs going for $15 bucks for a whole pack. He was well loved by his family and in the neighborhood and by the conversation with the police before they took him down for resisting, he knew his rights. Too bad the police just ignored them.
