My perspective towards Eric Garner’s case is why. Why does this keep happening in the United States and more importantly New York? New York state is one of the most liberal states and yet it is still happening. Furthermore, I know that I go to school in New York City but it never really occurred to me until now that New York City would actually have such huge rallies and protests. History is happening right near me, and I wasn’t even a part of it. Regarding Eric Garner’s case, the trial should’ve went on. I don’t understand how the system can allow such a thing to happen in modern day. This relates to the Ferguson case, and the system isn’t changing and keeps making the same mistakes. While the Eric Garner case may be an issue of racism, I think it really has to do with how the system works in the United States. Relating to my immigration paper, there are illegal immigrants in states down south and towards the west in states such as Arizona and New Mexico that get accused for crime all the time based off their race. That’s utter injustice and the only way to stop these tragedies from reoccurring is to change the system.
