This Comment addresses a recent paper by M. Mansuripur (Phys. Rev. Lett. 108, 193901 (2012)), who claims that the Lorentz law of force should be abandoned because it violates relativity. The Comment argues that this is not necessarily the case and also takes issue with Manusripur's approach to classical electromagnetism.
