In this interview, I talked to a coworker about the Eric Garner case. He said that he definitely does not agree with the outcome, mentions that Garner was completely nonviolent, and makes the point that police are not supposed to be above the law, but this case is another instance that shows that police really are above the law. I ask the interviewee about one of the defenses used for this police officer, and something that is used for most police officers when they find themselves in this situation, and that is that Garner was resisting arrest and making the police officer's job more difficult. The interviewee says that cops are supposed to be trained professionals and be able to deal with noncompliant citizens in a professional manner. He says that somebody resisting arrest does not deserve to be put in a choke hold. The interviewee says its unnecessary aggression by the police.
