“The medical examiner for New York City ruled the death of Eric Garner, who died in police custody after a violent arrest over allegedly selling loose untaxed cigarettes, a ‘homicide by chokehold.’ In a press conference earlier this week Bill Bratton, speaking with New York City’s mayor Bill de Blasio, said that correcting your behavior for police was ‘what democracy’s all about.’ Though his comments were largely wrong-headed, Bratton is correct that the law against selling loose, untaxed cigarettes is not a concoction of the police, but the city that voted for elected officials who have run the taxes on cigarettes so high as to create a black market in loose, untaxed cigarettes.”
