I Can't Breathe by Matt Taibbi
A Killing on Bay Street
A deeply reported narrative that reconstructs the death of Eric Garner on Staten Island and situates it within decades of policing policy, economic hardship, and bureaucratic incentives. Through interviews and records, it portrays Garner’s life and community, the logic of broken-windows enforcement, quota-driven street policing, and the roles of unions, prosecutors, and city politics, tracing how a minor infraction escalated into a fatal encounter and a national outcry.
