[The holocaust was legal, slavery was legal, segregation was legal. If you use the state as a metric for ethics you'll end up disappointed" It sounds to me like you're taking the side of the police state. Seriously how can you say that he was alive in that video. How can you be blind to the fact that the police killed a man in cold blood that day? When was the last time you looked at a black man? Did he have his eyes rolled back in his head? Was he lying on the ground, motionless and loosing body heat? What’s more is I don’t understand why you’re defending them. Aren’t Libertarians supposed to be against the police state? “Paying taxes under the threat of the gun”??? There are surveillance vans going around scrambling cellphone signals and intercepting calls in american streets because of these protests, Big Brother style. There are Nazis and KKK flocking to Ferguson. There’s more fucking nazis in america than there are in Germany for Christ sake. This is the america you support.]

I’m not going to keep repeating the facts to you about Eric Garner. You cannot judge whether he was alive or not by watching a video. I’m sorry. I’m also not going to entertain the ludicrous notion that there are more Nazis in America today compared to Nazis Germany or more KKK today than half a century ago. That’s simply not true.

Not to get into the actual accuracy of whether the holocaust was actually “legal” or not; you cannot base the state as a metric for ethics, but you must obey and enforce the laws whether they are ethical or not in a democratic republic. I believe the individual mandate in the Affordable Care Act is the most unethical law created since the Black Codes, yet I must abide by this law either way.

There is no police state in the United States either. People that say that have no idea what a real police state looks like. What we have are laws created and enforced by politicians that are democratically elected. These laws are not arbitrary and therefore must be carried out as written.

I’m not sure if you are a liberal or what, but this is precisely why libertarians are against more laws and more government intervention into our lives. If you are the type of individual that keeps voting in statist politicians like Michael Bloomberg, Bill de Blasio, Barack Obama, etc who encourage creating more laws, more bureaucracy, more illegal executive orders, more government programs, and more taxes, you are creating your own problems. These are the unethical characters that are creating these laws you disagree with. The police are merely enforcing them.

Eric Garner was a victim of a bad law. He chose to break the law and therefore broke his social contract in this civil society. He ended up paying the ultimate price by resisting arrest. That was his choice though. You cannot beg for all this big government intervention and then choose not to obey the ones you personally do not agree with. That’s not how a society works. You cannot have your cake and eat it too. You can have liberty or you can have big controlling government. Which will it be?

The majority of the people of New York City chose Bloomberg to represent their wishes in government and in doing so must accept his terrible nanny state laws. If you want to fix the system, you must keep these liberal politicians out of office and start putting more libertarian or conservative ones in that want to repeal or end big government programs. Otherwise, you’re just going to keep perpetuating this system of your own oppression
