Reverend Al Sharpton spoke for Mr Garner's family at a Monday news conference, saying"We are relieved, but we are not celebratory."
Mr Garner's daughter Emerald Snipes-Garner wore a T-shirt with"MURDERER" emblazoned across the front. "Officer Pantaleo, well, now I can say Daniel Pantaleo, is a murderer and that's just how I feel," she said.While the decision was welcomed by activists and Mr Garner's family, it was immediately condemned by the head of the city's largest police union, who declared that it would undermine morale and cause officers to hesitate to use force under any circumstances, for fear they could be fired.
"The job is dead," Patrolman's Benevolent Association president Patrick Lynch said at a news conference, standing in front of a police department flag that had been hung upside down. His voice cracking with anger, Mr Lynch called Mr Pantaleo an"exemplary" officer and called for union members to participate in a no-confidence vote on the Mayor and Commissioner.
He should lose his appeal and not be hired by NYC in any Capacity. He got 5 years of Salary and Benefits for he and his family. 5 years of justice delayed and real Justice denied. That cash settlement isn’t worth the years he would have lived if illegal choke hold not applied
Kill someone - get fired .. life goes on, no manslaughter charges no jail time.. just see you later .. lucky that former cop is white huh How lucky is that
How long did that take?
Throw the book at him

Man armed with shotgun dies after being shot in leg by police on Sydney's northern beachesPolice say the 53-year-old man confronted officers with a shotgun after they were called to an Ingleside home around 9:35pm last night following reports of a domestic incident. Excellent! Come out with a gun? Shoot that person immediately and eliminate the gun problem.... 'Upon entering the granny flat, the man was armed with a firearm and police fired _one_ round into the man's _leg_,' And he still bleed to death. Because there is a huge artery there! Looks like the coroner who recently suggested limb shots is incompetent. 🙄
