Currently in Staten Island there have been protests taking place concerning the somewhat recent Eric Garner case.  After seeing the video that was taken on the street next to Garner, I was amazed.  It is a mystery as to why the cop decided to use a choke hold on a man, especially since it has been banned from ever being used.  After hearing the cries of Eric Garner saying that he could not breathe, one would think that the cop would let go.  That’s what really got to me is that as Garner screamed, the cop still would not let go.
