NEW YORK (AP) — The deadly confrontation five summers ago flickers in Gwen Carr's mind, competing for attention with warm, happy memories of her late son Eric Garner's life. For all the smiles and laugher they shared, there are flashes of Garner being grabbed by a New York City police officer
1 / 9In this Wednesday May 8, 2019, photo, Loyda Colon, left, co-Director of the Justice Committee, listens while Gwen Carr, right, mother of Eric Garner, an unarmed black man who died as he was being subdued in a chokehold by NYPD police officer Daniel Pantaleo nearly five years ago, speaks during an interview, Wednesday May 8, 2019, in New York.
"It has been five long years," Carr told The Associated Press last week."Pantaleo and all those other officers who actually murdered my son that day, they are still collecting their salaries. They still go home every day and it's business as usual with them. But with me, we relive this every day." The NYPD argued the federal investigation was holding up Pantaleo's disciplinary case. Last summer, however, the department decided to move forward anyway. It will begin 1,761 days after Garner's death.
The NYPD's chief surgeon ruled in 2014 that Pantaleo hadn't used a chokehold on Garner, contradicting the medical examiner's findings, London said. London said part of his defense case would focus on attacking the medical examiner's report, which he called a"political document" and"the worst possible autopsy ever done."
Garner, who had asthma, suffered a heart attack in an ambulance and was pronounced dead at a hospital. The NYPD hasn't fired an officer for a fatal chokehold since Francis Livoti , who was dismissed from the department and convicted by a federal jury for violating the civil rights of a Bronx man prosecutors say died after Livoti used a choke hold on him in 1994.
