From Piers Morgan Live, the words of a Brit to Mayor DeBlasio and the people of New York City: So don’t apologise for spelling out the reality of the Eric Garner case. It was an incident that shamed the NYPD, shamed New York, and shamed America. It was also another clear message to New York’s black community that you have to be very careful when interacting with certain rogue members of the NYPD. To pretend otherwise is to ignore what we all saw on that hideous video. A disturbing New York Daily News investigation last month revealed that at least 179 people have been killed by the NYPD in the last 15 years. Where race was known, 86% were either black or Hispanic. 27% of those killed were unarmed. The stats don’t lie. The abuse that you’re now facing is a small price to pay for being right, Mr Mayor. Don’t be a boring white guy. That’s not why you were elected. Kind regards Piers Morgan.
