Legal standards are difficult standards sometimes to prosecute people. But there's another standard for employment. And I think one announcement that would be good and it's sad in this officer's case, but at the same time he used bad discretion. He didn't use discretion and he made a very unwise decision. He should not be given the power to be able to use that kind of force. So I don't think you can have an officer that makes this bad of a decision work as a policeman. And I know it sounds sad, but Eric Garner died and he didn't need to die.
HANNITY: But do you really believe the officer's intent was – I mean, there was resisting on Eric Garner's part.
RAND PAUL: I don't think it has to be the intent. And that's why when you talk about conviction or indictment versus continued employment, there's a much different standard. The standard for a police officer is much different.
HANNITY: How is he supposed to get him to agree to be handcuffed if he's not going to agree?
RAND PAUL: Right. Well, I think that using deadly force for people who aren't armed really is not what we should use.
HANNITY: But again, if you look at the coroner's report, yeah, it contributed but he also had high blood pressure, he had asthma, he had heart disease, all contributing factors to his situation, no?
RAND PAUL: Right. But you have to have discretion. So for example if you see an 85-year-old woman jaywalking, it's against the law, do you put her in a chokehold?
HANNITY: No. No.
RAND PAUL: You see a big guy – this is a big guy – you see him selling cigarettes —
HANNITY: But if he resists, what do you do?
RAND PAUL – is that something the community really wants to even be involved with is what I would say.
