Officer Who Put Eric Garner in a Chokehold Should Be Fired, Judge Says
Five years after Eric Garner's death in police custody ignited a national outcry, a police administrative judge recommended on Friday that the officer who placed him in a chokehold during the botched arrest should be fired.

The finding sets in motion the final stage of a long legal and political battle over the fate of the officer, Daniel Pantaleo, who has become for many critics of the New York Police Department an emblem of what they see as overly aggressive policing in black and Hispanic neighborhoods.

I've been in the company of police officers and
I never gave them a reason to restrain me.
Is that asking too much from the public?
The complaint is that the police killed these people, not that they restrained them.
