The officer who performed the chokehold is still on the NYPD payroll, but there are reports that the family will now try to get him fired.
BREAKING: Justice Department will not criminally prosecute NYPD cop Daniel Pantaleo who killed Eric Garner 5 years ago. Garner was killed with an unlawful chokehold that was taped and viewed by the entire nation. This is a gross injustice.
