Above I cited several high profile conservatives who have criticized the police for their actions prior to and at the time of Eric Garner's death. However, I neglected to cite Senator Rand Paul's statement which, in part, was that "I don't think it's justified what the police did ..."

It's probably been the first time since 9/11 that I've witnessed such a mix of persons with differing ideologies engaged in essentially the same line of criticism.
