NYPD Launches Internal Affairs Probe Into Eric Garner Choke Hold Officer - ABC News
The New York City Police Department has launched an internal investigation into the choke hold death of Eric Garner at the hands of a police officer, one day after a grand jury announced that they would not be indicting the officer on criminal charges.
The officer involved in the controversial incident, Daniel Pantaleo, may now be interviewed by internal affairs officers, but the other officers who were on the scene may come first as they are scheduled to be interviewed on Friday, police sources told ABC News today.
If the internal affairs investigators recommend a punishment, a department judge will be the one to decide if it is enacted.
The NYPD investigation is the second process that Pantaleo is going through, and he is also the subject of a federal civil rights investigation and can expect a civil wrongful death lawsuit from Garner's relatives.

yeah I read that in one of the early stories (can't remember the source, daily news, nyt or ny post)...anyway, they be immune so let's hear from 'em.
In this thread...the one that died was doing something illegal....now quit fudging the story :wink:
And the cop was, yeah he called it a take down move. A choke hold can do that.
Then after he stops breathing they stand around and made the deliberate decision not to provide First Aid. More negligence by the Officers involved.
Negligence? yes....Against dept. policy? yes....bad cigarette Law? yes....what the officer did illegal?.... No!
You don't need my permission. Perhaps you should post them or admit you were lying.
The choke hold is not illegal. It has been banned due to the number of deaths caused by its use.
Yes I and other Members do. I would not post PM's from another Board, you already know that.
Slim, this was the question.
Your PM's. Are you giving me and all other Members permission to post your PM's?
Not with me.
Now about your PMs for this Board - put up or sleaze off.
You were mighty upset last night.
I enjoy pissing on your time brain.
We haven't dealt with the PMs from the other board. You have permission to post them. Do it. For somebody that expects others to "put up or sleaze off" you sure do a lot of talking without any backup.
You always get a little confused when you've been drinking excessively. You really should cut back.
I have no dispute that he should have been arrested. I just believe the force used by the officers was inappropriate and they should face the music for their actions. Usually death sentences are not issued by the arresting officer. We have judges and juries for that.
Death was the consequence... And exactly who are you to determine what the risk to the cop was?
It's really easy to sit on the sidelines and judge, however, the GJ have determined otherwise
That's right, he's still dead and that death is still a consequence of multiple poor decisions.
.. That brings us right back to the original point I am trying to make... Responsibility in this is shared between multiple parties including Garner himself
.. As were Garner's actions in breaking a silly law in addition to resisting arrest
I am the boss... And when I fukk up, it costs me directly... I am solely responsible and bear the consequences fully
So what?.. Really?
Garner made multiple bad decisions (read: illegal) and your only observation is that he was victimized?
Get over it already... Had Garner's decisions been different, this never would have happened.
Like DaS mentioned, it's like punishing a truck driver for me swerving into a head-on collision with the truck
The best way to avoid dieing from being arrested is don't do anything to get arrested especially if your are too fat to breath when taken to the ground for resisting arrest.
Some of the comments in this thread are what usually happens when one reads the ending by Sharpton before reading the book from the beginning....also skipping details in the story helps a lot....
