“He could have shot the dog from 6 inches if it came to it. This is negligent homicide at the least.”
Bull.
NBC News: “A New York administrative judge recommended that Daniel Pantaleo, the New York City police officer at the center of Eric Garner’s July 2014 death case, should be fired from the department, sources said Friday.
Now it is up to the city’s police commissioner whether Pantaleo will keep his job.
The recommendation follows a departmental trial earlier this year.
The officer, who was seen in cellphone footage from the July 2014 incident with his arm around Garner’s neck as the unarmed black man repeatedly said “I can’t breathe,” has been on administrative duty since the death.
The judge’s recommendation comes days after Mayor Bill de Blasio was heckled on national television during a Democratic presidential debate with calls to “Fire Pantaleo.”
It also comes weeks after the U.S. Justice Department said it would not bring federal civil rights or criminal charges against Pantaleo following a five-year investigation.”
Bull huh? I’ve kicked the living shit out of attacking dogs bigger than that.
