Glenn Beck was absolutely incensed today by the Eric Garner case, calling it “obscene” and saying at the very least, “manslaughter should have been considered.”

Beck and his co-hosts agreed that not only did Garner not do anything to provoke such a fatal response, but that he didn’t really resist arrest. Pat Gray said the video was “heart-wrenching” to watch, while Stu Burguiere, who described himself as a very pro-police guy, just couldn’t take their side on this one.

Beck said, “How this cop did not go to jail and was not held responsible is beyond me.” He argued this is not at all like Ferguson, because in this case there’s video evidence, but there’s also not any explanation of the grand jury’s decision here.

And he sent a strong message to conservatives warning them not to lump the two together:

“If you want to have any credibility, you cannot lump Ferguson with this one. This is the New York police completely out of control. They did not murder him, but manslaughter absolutely should have been considered. Why that wasn’t considered is beyond me.”
