NYPD fires officer Panteleo who used chokehold in Eric Garner's death - SABC News - Breaking news, special reports, world, business, sport coverage of all South African current events. Africa's news leader.

This brings to an end a five-year legal saga which sparked both local and federal investigations which both ended with no charges against Panteleo or the other officers involved. Garner was seen on video telling officers he could not breathe while Panteleo was subduing him in order to effect an arrest.

Garner’s final words became a rallying cry for protests against police practices as part of a groundswell of demonstrations that fuelled the Black Lives Matter movement that sought to highlight the treatment by law enforcement of minority groups in the country. NYPD administrative judge recommended Panteleo be terminated – a recommendation followed by the Commissioner James O’Neill despite an earlier grand jury decision declining to indict the officer and a subsequent Justice Department decision not to pursue federal civil rights charges.

A judge in 2017 approved a nearly $4 million settlement to the Garner family from a $ 5.9 million wrongful death settlement with the city.
