- 5 years ago
Reactions are pouring in across the city after a Staten Island grand jury today announced they would not indict a city police officer in the death of Eric Garner.
Officer Daniel Pantaleo was caught on video putting Garner in a fatal chokehold during an arrest in July.
The medical examiner later concluded the chokehold was the cause of death.
Mayor Bill de Blasio says he met with clergy members, elected officials and community leaders on Staten Island this afternoon and acknowledged that many people are "feeling pain" as a result of the grand jury's decision.
The mayor also said the federal government is "clearly engaged and poised to act."
