translated from Spanish: Officers from NYPD officer who killed a young black man and sparked “Black Lives Matter” protests

NYPD Commissioner James P. O’Neill, on Monday announced the expulsion from the body of Agent Daniel Pantaleo, who in 2014 killed a 43-year-old black citizen, Eric Garner, whose last words, “I can’t breathe,” gave a boost to the protest movement against the Black Lives police violence Matter.La expulsion comes two weeks after a specialized judge in police cases found guilty of breaking the body’s regulations by using a drowning key to reduce the man.” Mr. Garner’s death as an unintentional consequence must have its own consequences. I therefore agree with the under-commissioner of the trial and its recommendations. It is clear that Daniel Pantaleo can no longer serve as a New York City police officer,” said O’Neill, according to the US press. Eric Garner died on 17 July 2014 as a result of an unlawful strangulation manoeuvre by a police officer and declared as a direct cause of murder by a coroner following a video taped incident in which Garner is found to have in no moment physically threatens the agents around him. Garner was selling smuggled cigarettes on Staten Island when he was arrested. His family received $5.9 million in an out-of-court settlement with the New York City Council in exchange for resigning from filing a civil lawsuit. Garner, a black 43-year-old boy, became the latest fatality in a police action that has poured gasoline on a country fire outraged by the deaths of other unarmed black citizens such as Michael Brown, who died in Ferguson, Missouri, for actions of another white policeman.
