An NYPD judge just ruled for Eric Garners killer. Who FYI is still on force making a 6 figure salary. Says no discipline bc too much time has passed *unless it can be shown officer committed crime. Police union claiming victory. But heres the thing: He killed Garner. On video.
The judge did however rule that the trial against Daniel Pantaleo could proceed and would starting next week. The *most* he faces if found guilty is his firing. Which should have happened five years ago. apnews.com/c649c0b75a6644…
Meanwhile, the same chokehold that killed Garner is still being used. And “only a tiny fraction of officers have been found guilty & faced discipline. When they do the punishment has been remedial training & the loss of vacation time. None have been fired.”nytimes.com/2019/05/09/nyr…
