“The family of Eric Garner endured a tragic loss and this settlement is one step of many that our city must take to ensure that no more families need suffer this pain. Many questions remain unanswered, and there is yet much work to be done in New York City’s ongoing efforts to reform our criminal justice system to ensure fairness and justice for all. My thoughts and prayers remain with the Garner family.”
