BREAKING: NYPD officer responsible for causing Eric Garner’s death has been terminated, Commissioner James O’Neill announces.
More than five years after the death of Eric Garner was captured on cell phone video, the officer responsible for causing his death was terminated from New York City's Police Department.
Months after a disciplinary trial in May and June this year, Deputy Commissioner of Trials Judge Rosemarie Maldonado recommended to Police Commissioner James O'Neill that Pantaleo be removed from the force. Judge Maldonado ruled that Daniel Pantaleo used the prohibited chokehold that caused Eric Garner's death and Daniel Pantaleo must be terminated," said Fred Davie, chairman of the Civilian Complaint Review Board, at their monthly meeting on Aug. 14.Garner's mother, Gwen Carr, said that the judge's recommendation brought"some relief" after a Staten Island grand jury and the U.S. Department of Justice declined to bring criminal charges against Pantaleo.
Chants of"Fire Pantaleo" interrupted Mayor Bill de Blasio during a Democratic presidential debate in Detroit in July.
