“ hmmmm ” 1. The man was being arrested for breaking up a fight, not selling cigarettes.
2. Why does the case by case (incident by incident) policy ONLY apply to the police? A man arrested more than once for anything is still innocent until proven guilty.
3. Does guilt or even an officers intent to arrest equate in possible death?
Should breaking up a fight or selling cigarettes conger fears of death?
4. If it was someone you love would you feel the same?
Thank you for your ministry. God bless.

“ hmmm ” I have a question for Pastor Bolling and any who heard this interview. Have you gone to www.tax.ny.gov/bus/cig/cigidx. htm and read the tax rate for cigarettes and tobacco products. A black market is being created because of the high taxes. Mr. Garner and othera would not sell loose cigarettes if there was not a demand for them. Lower the taxes and people like Mr. Garner go out of business, do not take up jail space that belong to real criminals. The police officers are not put in a position to confront people like Mr. Garner. Whole thing was senseless. A man crossed over into eternity because the state of New York deemed him a criminal just because he was averting oppressive taxation. I am all for taxes and they are necessary, but it must be reasonable and not oppressive to any group of individuals namely tobacco users.
