my name is gwen carr, i am the mother of eric gardner. five years ago my beloved son eric was murdered by people who were supposed to serve and protect. on july 17, the nypd police officers approached my son. one of them put him in an illegal chokehold. eric cried out 11 times, i can't breathe. 11 times he said i can't breathe. but those officers who were on the scene that day, they didn't seem to care. eric died that day. there was a video that was captured -- that captured the incident. including the chokehold and my son's cry saying that he couldn't breathe. this went viral around the world. so my thought is today how come no one was held accountable? no one was held and charged for y son's death. not only the officer that murdered my son but all the officers who were on the scene need to stand accountable for his death that day. i will never forget that day in july. i got up that morning, i spoke to eric, i spoke to him for about 10 minutes. and afterwards we said our goodbyes. he said i love you, mom. i said i love you, too, eric. nev

edwards who is an off-duty black police officer who was killed in harlem or of course if that was eric gardnere world to see unarmed and given the death sentence of selling loose cigarettes. thank you reverend sharpton in all his incidents unfortunately there was no measure of justice to the officer who engaged in the act resulting in the death of those individuals. what can be done to create a greater degree of accountability, recognizing that the majority of police officers are there to protect and serve with the best of intentions. but like any avenue of human endeavor in life there are bad apples, and when a bad apple engages in actions that result in the death of an individual, what can be done to make sure there's a greater degree of accountability? >> are you asking me? >> thank you for your comments on my work and i think the gentleman from florida for allowing me too straighten out the distortion and lies that i been misquoted, he's been a great service to my reputation. i want to say, the federal government has obligation in the congress can initiate that. into really set certain law
