There is nothing funny about the death of Eric Garner. There is nothing funny about police using poor judgment and abusing their power. So, if you think it is all a joke, you need to think again.
For some crazy reason Pittsburgh Penguins reporter Stan Savran thought this would be a good analogy.
Unlike some in the media, Savran owned up to his atrocious and insensitive comments and apologized.
I can't express how sorry I am for my mindless comment. Certainly wasn't intended to make light of a tragic situation. Totally unacceptable

and just plain stupid. It's now how I've conducted myself during my career. Again, I apologize and hope you can forgive me.
