Eric Garner’s family, supporters Protest outside Gracie Mansion New York City -2019

The new waves of outrage follow the U.S. Justice Department’s decision this week to not file civil rights charges against New York City Police officer Daniel Pantaleo, who put Garner in the chokehold that city officials say cost the Staten Island man his life.

It is outrageous that I have had to be fighting for five years to get the Mayor to do his job to make sure that there is accountability when the NYPD murders our children,” Carr said. “The Mayor has been dragging his heels and obstructing accountability at every turn for the past five years.”
