The New York City Police Department announced Monday that it is firing Daniel Pantaleo, the officer who put Eric Garner in a fatal chokehold in 2014. The announcement comes more than two weeks after the judge presiding over Pantaleo’s disciplinary trial made a nonbinding recommendation for his dismissal. The choice ultimately fell to NYPD Commissioner James O’Neill, who said he made his decision in the last few days. “None of us can take back our decisions, most especially when they lead to the death of another human being,” O’Neill said in a news conference Monday announcing Pantaleo’s firing. Last month, the U.S. Department of Justice said it would not pursue federal civil rights charges against Pantaleo, whose deadly use of an illegal chokehold on Garner ― who cried out “I can’t breathe” ― set off national outrage. The DOJ’s decision was announced right before the applicable five-year statute of limitations expired.⁠
New York City’s Civilian Complaint Review Board, which prosecuted the disciplinary case, agreed with the judge’s recommendation that Pantaleo be fired. “The evidence the CCRB’s prosecutors brought forth at trial was more than sufficient to prove that Pantaleo is unfit to serve,” the board said in a statement. “Commissioner O’Neill must uphold this verdict and dismiss Pantaleo from the Department.” O’Neill said Monday that had he been the person arresting Garner, he could have made “similar mistakes.” Ultimately, however, Pantaleo did not follow protocol when dealing with a person resisting arrest and must face the consequences, O’Neill said. “Being a police officer is one of the hardest jobs in the world,” the commissioner said. “That is not a statement to elicit sympathy from those we serve, it’s a fact.” “But an officer’s choices and actions,” he added later, “even made under extreme pressure, matter.” // 📸: Getty Images

heathercamfferman No accountability. He killed a man, and the police with him allowed this, and made no effort to assist the dying man. No!

johnnyb34431 it doesn't matter he'll simply join another Police Department and get all of his seniority returned. 🎱

meonthingsandstuff Is it though... 5 years later and only fired? He killed that man for selling cigarettes.

silke_23 Damit haben sie sixhc ja viel Zeit gelassen 🤦🏽‍♀️ aber immerhin ein Anfang @anika.vh

thelifeofjake84 5 years too late, he killed a man using an illegal chokehold, where I'd the justice?
