NYPD Police Commissioner To Decide If Officer In Eric Garner Death Should Be Fired | MSNBC

  1. Honestly, I was hoping he’d go to prison, but I guess being fired is the best we could hope for given the current state of affairs surrounding the criminal justice system.

    1. Just another thing to put on his resume. He’ll get hired in another department which is sad. But this is the world we live in.

    2. I don’t know how this is even a question. The man was pleading and told them that he could not breathe 11 times. That officer squeezed the life out of him while he was being subdued by 3-5 other cops!!

    1. This is Racism! This is Trumps fault! Only Hillary and Bernie are not Racist ! Vote Democrat to not be Racist and Gets The FREES

  2. I feel for the Garner family so much. They lost someone precious to them and this case has been drawn out for years. He should be fired. It’s crazy that they have had family members die while waiting for justice.

    1. This is Racism! This is Trumps fault! Only Hillary and Bernie are not Racist ! Vote Democrat to not be Racist and Gets The FREES

    2. @sandinyourshoes white, black,spanish, indian, Chinese purple or green it does not matter about the race. a life was taken, reverse the situation for a moment put your self in the family situation what if that was a close family member of (yours) that was choked hold like that and it was captured on video and millions of people saw it and everybody (clearly) see that the cop is guilty including you and (your) family, years pass…. but nothing has happened to the cop except being suspended with pay $$$ how would you and your family feel…

  3. They murdered a man w an illegal chokehold for selling single cigarettes ON CAMERA and the only guy that went to jail was the guy on the street that video’d it. Hard not to hate police.

  4. I hope he is fired and the family personally sues this terrible human being. If the races were switched it be a whole different story shamefully.

    1. no he won’t what he did crossed a line cops caN NOT DO WHATEVER THEY WANT THE FORCE HAS TO BE REASONABLE THIS COP IS LUCKY IT WAS NOT MY FAMILY BECAUSE HE WOULD NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT I WOULD FIND OUT WERE HE LIVES AND SOLDER A PIPE BOMB TO THE STATERER OF THIS PUNKS CAR PIPE BOMBS WORK AND IT TRUMPS PUNKS ON DO NOT KNOW THERE PLACE LIKE THIS OFFICER

    2. Bruce Willey: Stop lying, they don’t let you have soldering irons in the group home, but you can have all the pudding cups you want, ya chubby little rascal.

  5. As we speak, people are being fired from their jobs today, all across America. Eric Garner was fired because he needlessly and criminally took a human life.

    1. ​@sandinyourshoes .. In that life style it’s not with hug & kisses.. The rest if his life he’ll be worried when that someone will come for him. Now he’ll have to deal with the Bad Guys alone !!!! I’m sure the Family knows this..

    2. ​@sandinyourshoes … I understand what you are regarding. But it that world men turn to conducting themselves like animals. They become worse than first arriving. This cop,, I don’t get it. To me it seems like they try so hard to out perform each other almost to say ” Look At Me, Look How I Do It” kind of showing off. If you or I commit a crime we will pay dearly. So I’m hopping that this cop continues to perform for the other cops and yells ” Look At Me, Look What They Have Done To Me” So Maybe the other cops will Conduct themselves like the Police we have supported….

  6. Cops no long work to “Protect and Serve”, they have even removed the saying from the side of the police cars. Now they are working hard for their corporate masters, and the poor piggies need more money! So lets called them what they are, BROWN SHIRT REVENUE COLLECTORS!

  7. Why does it take FIVE years? Meanwhile he continued to work and be paid as a NYC cop, including $40K in overtime.

  8. It’s SO SIMPLE. Fact is MSM, the Fake News, and politicians have convinced the sheeple that a choke hold was used to score political points, and the Fact is: There was never a Choke Hold. Choke “hold”, “hold”, “hold” ……..The cop took him down by the neck. That is all !!! NEVER A CHOKE “HOLD”. The Medical Examiner determined that a choke hold was not the cause of death.

  9. I speak as a Conservative. And I say IMPEACH TRUMP! Remember. We don’t need to win the vote. We ONLY need the Tax Returns, the Emoluments Proof, The Trump Foundation Records, and the witness testimony, when they FINALLY, CANNOT LIE or withhold the TRUTH. That will END Trump’s, “election,” hopes. ENOUGH of the, “strategy,” Nancy! ✌️

  10. i hope everyone knows selling loosy cigarettes is a cover for dealing dope. you guys cant be that stupid can you? if you are, you need a choke hold.

  11. I forgot about this case smh, its really insane they are taking this long on this case involving this “officer” its not like it was a he said she said situation… Everything was (captured) on video!!!!! and it shows clear as day that his choke hold caused his death. So WTF are all these technicalities and delays!!!? Put him in prison case closed!!!!
