UPDATE III: Republi-con "illustrates just how much the Garner case really is about race. Had Eric Garner been a rural white man with a cowboy hat killed by federal agents, instead of a large black man choked to death by the NYPD, his face would be on a Ted Cruz for President poster by now."
Read The Atlantic, If Eric Garner Were White.
UPDATE II: Note also, Wilson's testimony is tainted by racism.
Read Slate, Michael Brown Wasn’t a Superhuman Demon.

Don't take my word for it, watch the video:
