Wednesday marked the 10th anniversary of the police killing of Eric Garner, who died after an officer held him in a chokehold, which is a banned procedure. The now-ex NYPD officer Daniel Pantaleo remains a free man after a jury and the Justice Department declined to charge him for killing Garner. Yesterday, community members joined Eric Garner’s mother, daughter and cousin to march to the site of Garner’s killing on a Staten Island street. Eric Garner’s pleas of “I can’t breathe,” captured on video by a witness, became a global rallying cry.
