“Commissioner Bratton and the NYPD’s Internal Affairs Bureau must have a full, transparent and thorough investigation into the incident which led to the death of Eric Garner. New Yorkers expect and deserve to be safe and those protections must include those who are in the custody of NYPD. I extend my condolences to the family and friends of Mr. Garner and look forward to working with Mayor de Blasio and Commissioner Bratton moving forward.”
