In New York City, residents rallied over the weekend to protest the death of Eric Garner, an African-American father of six who died after police placed him in a chokehold. Police had accused Garner of selling loose cigarettes. Graphic video of Thursday’s incident shows an officer pulling Garner to the ground by the neck and then holding his head against the pavement. As other officers crowd on top of Garner, he repeatedly says, “I can’t breathe.” Garner soon stops moving. He was pronounced dead at a local hospital. The officer who used the chokehold, Daniel Pantaleo, has been moved to desk duty and ordered to turn in his badge and gun pending investigations. According to the Associated Press, three men have sued Pantaleo in the past two years for unlawful, racially motivated arrests.
