There has been a lot of upset recently about the Ferguson incident, and now another problem has erupted in New York. In July, an unarmed man was killed when he was put in a chokehold by an NYPD officer. He was being arrested for selling untaxed cigarettes, and things quickly got out of hand. The case has gone through the courts and they decided not to indict the officer for the killing of this man. This has caused an outrage among society as it is another instance where police officers get away with doing something illegal.

It is absolutely ridiculous that the police officer will get off scot-free for this atrocity. The man was unarmed, and based on the video he didn't seem to be resisting arrest much. The man continually saying that he can't breath should be a sign to stop choking him, and the police officer should know this. Things got completely out of hand, and this police officer is not getting punished for doing something completely illegal. The fact that it was a white police officer killing an African-American man does not help the situation either. Now more questions arise, like why don't we see nearly as many white people being killed and arrested by the cops as black people. Events like this and Ferguson are raising a lot of questions that the government is not answering well. If things like this continue to happen, there will be a lot of problems for our country.
