To intone the words “I
can’t breathe,” surrounded by thousands of others doing the same, is an act of
intense empathy and solidarity. The empathy comes from momentarily stepping
into the persona of Eric Garner at that instant the life was being choked out
of him. It is a kind of rhetorical tribute to inhabit his subject position,
taking on the pronoun “I” and repeating the words he helplessly repeated eleven
times.
