Ten years after Eric Garner’s death: What has changed?

  • Resumen

  • This week marks the 10-year anniversary of the death of Eric Garner, a man who was placed in an illegal chokehold by police who were arresting him for selling cigarettes illegally on a Staten Island street. Garner’s dying words to police, “I can’t breathe,” became a rallying cry for protesters who were outraged at the police brutality.

    Debi Rose was a former Staten Island councilwoman whose district included the block where Garner was killed. Reverend Kirsten Foy is an activist who was a major organizer around the Garner case. They both joined NY1’s Errol Louis to tell the story of Garner’s killing and the many attempts by his family to fight for justice. They also discussed what, if anything, has changed in the ensuing decade.
