\u201cEric Garner was a New Yorker who shared the same hopes and dreams all New Yorkers have and his death was an unnecessary tragedy. One year later, we are still searching for justice for Eric Garner and his family. We are not going to stop that search until justice is achieved.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn New York City, we continue the pursuit of criminal justice reforms which will make our system more fair and just for all. This includes our conversations with Commissioner Bratton and the Mayor\u2019s Office of Criminal Justice to lower penalties for low level offenses, the Council\u2019s work to establish a city-wide bail fund and the continued efforts to create better relations between the police and the communities they serve.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis tragedy was also compounded by the failure of a District Attorney to successfully get an indictment. Thanks to Governor Cuomo, Attorney General Schneiderman will soon be in charge of these cases and in the future a Special Prosecutor will be appointed. This is an important and critical step.<\/p>\n
\u201cNew York City endured difficult moments in the past year, but by listening to one another we can move forward together to create a city that is more fair and just for all.\u201d<\/p>\n
Re: Aniversario de la muerte de Garner<\/p>\n
\u201cEric Garner fue un neoyorquino que compart\u00eda los mismos sue\u00f1os y esperanzas que todos los neoyorquinos tienen y su muerte fue una tragedia innecesaria. Un a\u00f1o despu\u00e9s, todav\u00eda estamos buscando justicia para Eric Garner y su familia. No nos detendremos hasta que logremos esa justicia. <\/p>\n
\u201cEn la Ciudad de Nueva York, seguimos buscando lograr reformas de justicia criminal que har\u00e1n al sistema m\u00e1s justo y equitativo para todos. Esto incluye conversaciones con el Comisionado Bratton y la Oficina deL Alcalde de Justicia Criminal para bajar las penalidades para las ofensas menores, el trabajo del Concejo para establecer un fondo de fianzas a trav\u00e9s de toda la ciudad y los esfuerzos cont\u00ednuos para crear mejores relaciones entre la Polic\u00eda y las comunidades a las que sirve.<\/p>\n
\u201cEsta tragedia se profundiz\u00f3 por la incapacidad del fiscal de distrito para lograr efectivamente una acusaci\u00f3n en este caso. Afortunadamente, gracias al Gobernador Cuomo, el secretario de Justicia Schneiderman pronto estar\u00e1 a cargo de estos casos y en el futuro un fiscal especial ser\u00e1 nombrado para dichos fines. Este es un paso cr\u00edtico e importante.<\/p>\n
\u201cLa Ciudad de Nueva York ha pasado por momentos muy dif\u00edciles en este pasado a\u00f1o, pero al escucharnos los unos a los otros, podemos movernos juntos para crear una ciudad que sea m\u00e1s justa y equitativa para todos.\u201d<\/p>\n
