Jon Stewart on Eric Garner

Most cops aren’t bad people, but we need more restraint than what is being shown these days. I think he summed up the frustration well in this clip.

I think what is so utterly depressing is that none of the ambiguities that exist in the Ferguson case exist in the Staten Island case. And yet the outcome is exactly the same: no crime, no trial, all harm, no foul…The coroner called it a homicide, the guy isn’t acting threatening, and we know that not through witness testimony from unreliable bystanders but because we are fucking watching it. Someone taped it.
