On the Media | Oct 26, 2017
On July 17, 2014 Eric Garner died at the hands of a police officer on a Staten Island sidewalk, launching a frenzy of media coverage and questions over police brutality, the criminal justice system and America's ongoing struggle with race. Years later, the media attention is gone and the questions remain. In his new book, I Can't Breathe: A Killing on Bay Street, journalist Matt Taibbi explores the life and death of Eric Garner and examines what his story can teach us about the realities of policing, race and justice in America.
