The Choking Death of Eric Garner By NYPD Was Illegal [PODCAST]

by Austin Petersen

The Freedom Report podcast today takes on the case of the killing of Eric Garner by NYPD after they put him in an illegal chokehold. Officer Daniel Pantaleo was not indicted by a grand jury, although he still faces a federal civil rights suit by the DOJ, an internal NYPD investigation and a civil suit of $75 million from Garner’s family. Today’s show takes a look at potential outcomes of all of these cases, as well as the problem of police brutality and race in America.
