NYC Ordered to Pay $5.9 Million in Eric Garner Lawsuit
In the latest regarding the case of Eric Garner, a man who was reportedly choked to death by NYPD for the high crime of selling loose, untaxed cigarettes, New York City has been ordered to pay $5.9 million in damages to his family.
The officer who took Garner down claims he did not use a chokehold, despite what video of the incident shows or the fact that the city was finally forced to admit the officer used a hold that is not permitted. The NYPD did try to edit Eric Garner’s Wikipedia page regarding the matter, in one case changing the word “chokehold” to read “respiratory distress”.
Semantic arguments aside, that officer will not be facing criminal charges anyway.
On an interesting side note, newly appointed Holder replacement Attorney General Loretta Lynch was the U.S. attorney in Brooklyn at the time of the incident whose former office was overseeing a federal probe into the Garner case.
