Justice Department to reportedly charge cop in Eric Garner’s death
More than two years after an NYPD cop was caught on camera putting Eric Garner in a chokehold, the US Justice Department says it plans to charge the cop.
Prosecutors may charge former NYPD cop Daniel Pantaleo in the chokehold death of Eric Garner for violating his civil rights.
Authorities may charge Daniel Pantaleo
According to the New York Post, an anonymous source said the Justice Department plans to bring civil rights charges against Pantelo in the 2014 death of Eric Garner.
“It’s going to happen sooner than later,” the source said of an indictment. “Washington wants to indict him.”
A source said officials in Washington replaced federal investigators in Brooklyn because they were reluctant to bring charges.
The New York feds are privately seething. They accused their Beltway colleagues of trying to “make an example out of Pantaleo” at any cost, said one source familiar with the case.
