it shortly becomes physical: officer daniel pantaleo's attorney said his client was simply attempting to make a arrest and telling "the new york times" he wanted to get across to the grand jury that it was never his intention to injure or hurt anyone. >> intent can be inferred from watching his actions and the officer would have to explain away that picture. >> and we now know the grand jury saw four videos. >> different angles will tell us different things about the advantage point or where force was being applied. >> reporter: and then the chokehold. his attorney said the officer told the grand jury it was never supposed to be a chokehold but the medical examiner confirmed the chokehold and pressure to his chest contributed to the 43-year-old's death. >> the problem with these holds is that even if you start off not intending to cut off the air supply, a suspect can turn right into it very easily and cut off their own air supply. and that is why these holds have been considered incredibly dangerous and many police departments have banned them. >> here is where the autopsy report bec

they speak glowingly of daniel pantaleo who one union official says is not a hot head. >> he's a model of what we want the police officer to be. >> reporter: pantaleo has over 300 arrests with very few citizen complaints but now his gun and badge have been taken from him after the garner incident and cnn has learned pantaleo's record is not untarnished. he's been sued twice for lawful arrest and lawful imprisonment. darren collins and tommy rice alleged in 2012, pantaleo rounded them up on false drug charges and humiliated them. >> pantaleo strip searched them in public outside the car right in the street, open to public view. >> reporter: the complaint says pantaleo and another officer pulled down plaintiff's pants and underwear. pantaleo denied the allegations and the suit was settled for $30,000. the single 29-year-old staten island native joined the force in july 2006 comes from a family of public servants. his father was a firefighter and uncle was a policeman. >> he's a mature, mature police officer who is motivated literally by serving the community. he literally, literally is a

officer daniel pantaleo with his arm around his neck.hat the medical examiner said was a chokehold. a grand jury didn't indict and now the nypd is investigating personally. and the big question is will he keep his job? randall mclaughlin has been trying cases for 35 years and said that while historically the law favors officers, daniel pantaleo should at the very least lose his job. >> we shouldn't be paying for that man to engage in this kind of conduct, especially an individual who feels he did nothing wrong. that tells me, i think i did the right thing and i'll do it again. >> daniel pantaleo's attorney disagrees. saying in a statement in part, he indicated he never used a chokehold. he used a takedown technique he was taught in the academy. he said he never exerted any pressure on the windpipe and never intended to injure mr. garner. in other high-profile cases officers have managed to get by with little or no repercussions. take the deallo case in 1999. four police officers shot an unarmed black man 41 times, hitting him 19 times. h

could that happen to daniel pantaleo, the white officer not indicted?>> in that case, the baez case, he was over weight and subdued by a police officer in the bronx who used a chokehold and he died as a result. he was indicted and tried before a judge in the bronx and the bronx judge found him not guilty. the federal government indicted for civil rights violations, his name was officer laugh otty and so -- >> and so you think this is -- >> and this was directly on point. and a civil suit of $3 million was awarded to the family of the suit. and bear in mind, i don't know all of the facts of the case and nobody in this room knows because the grand jury heard the case for three months. we saw the film, which is about a 30-second film, a one-had the fi -- a one-minute film and i don't know if we've heard from the d.a., donovan, yet. and he is a straight shooting guy and we need to hear more from him about the grand jury. >> and when you watch the video, you say is there anything more you need to see. the grand jury did. they were looking at this for months.

about who officer daniel pantaleo is. the center of the case that has crowds taking over parts of the street in new york in protest. this is not the first time he's been accused of wrongdoing as police officers sometimes are. the head of the police union said he's a model officer. randi kaye reports. >> reporter: an 8 year veteran of the new york police department, officer daniel pantaleo comes from long served the city. his father is a retired new york city firefighter. his father is an officer for the nypd. >> it's the model of what we want a police officer to be. >> reporter: his mother, now retired, works as an assistant administrator. he is single according to the police union and doesn't have any children. >> he's a mature, mature police officer who's motivated, literally, by serving the community. he literally, literally is an eagle scout. >> reporter: pantaleo joined the nypd in 2003. a year later, he joined the anticrime unit dealing with serious crimes like rape, murder, guns on the street. >> he is a good man a

daniel pantaleo. mr. pantaleo was sued earlier this year. the city had to settle a civil suit, a civil rights case for officer pantaleo doing a strip search in public. there are many calls tonight for the officer in question to be fired. the nypd of course has an internal investigation ha has been ongoing for several months. there have been no conclusions. as a protester shouting down bratton and wanting to see police commissioner bratton fired over what they see is a continuation of policies they thought they had dislodged. joining me now, jonathan moore, he is the attorney for the garner family. thank you for being here. >> my pleasure. >> were you surprised by the grand jury decision yesterday, or did you have some feeling as this was going on that we weren't getting that this was going to happen? >> well, i was actually stunned by the decision. although i wasn't surprised. what i mean by that is if you look at the evidence, the evidence is overwhelming that something wrong happened here. that these officers, not just one but several offi

and all over the country in response to a grand jury's decision not to indict an nypd officer, daniel pantaleo. the man whose choke hold was banned by the nypd and caused the death of 43-year-old eric garner. >>> one giant leap any minute now. nasa will launch the first test flight of the groundbreaking orion mission. >>> we begin with another grand jury decision not to indict a police officer. and it is resonating across the country. once again, president obama and his administration are looking into federal charges. the department of justice has opened a civil investigation into eric garner's case. this morning's cover of "the new york daily news," we can't breathe, a chilling reference to eric garner's chilling words on that afternoon in new york. >> i can't breathe. i can't breathe. >> in new york city, protesters stood near feet away from police officers chanting and raising their hands. elsewhere throughout the city, others shouted. police are not above the law. at one point, protesters started knocking down police barriers just a block away from the annual tree lighting ceremony at rock

daniel pantaleo cannot be a cop in new york city any more. he is now, like i said, the poster child, he'll have to move on to another state and maybe another profession. >> so james, when you hear that, what do you think? i mean, because part of the problem here is that some people say this won't have happened, there would have been no need for a chokehold or a takedown or whatever if garner was not resisting arrest? >> that's correct. at some point we have to -- not every minor offense committed by a young black american is a capital offense. we're -- black americans are entitled to judges and juries just like everyone else. and so just like michael brown didn't deserve to be killed for whatever offense he may or may not have been committed, and garner did not deserve to be killed for allegedly selling cigarettes and the punishment doesn't fit the crime. >> and one more issue about what police are supposed to do in this country and i want to play this. this is an officer in a new york during a protest. and so this is a protest and a police o

new york city is bracing for protests after a grand jury decided not to indict police officer daniel pantaleo over his actions in july, videotaped by a bystander. cries from eric garner, a 350-pound black man, and father of six, who was taken down by police, suspected of selling cigarettes, tax-free. pantaleo put garner in a choke hold, a move prohibited by the nypd. >> i can't breathe! i can't breathe! >> reporter: moments later, garner, who suffered from asthma, lies limp on the pavement. he's taken away on a stretcher and later declared dead by a new york city hospital. the cause of death was, quote, compression of neck, choke hold, compression of check and prone positioning during physical restraint by police. >> this was an arrest for an extremely minor crime and it certainly seems to many people that the police should pay a price for that kind of arrest ending in a death. >> reporter: following the grand jury decision, officer pantaleo released a statement, extending his condolences to the garner family. quote, it is never my intention to harm anyone and i feel very bad about the death

. >> reporter: today, two days after a grand jury decided not to indict officer daniel pantaleo, who placed garner in what appears to be a choke hold after trying to arrest him for selling illegal cigarettes, the nypd, starting its own internal investigation into what happened. >> if we find a breach of police conduct, we will file departmental charges. >> reporter: pantaleo could face disciplinary action, even termination. today, 27 officers starting testing body cameras, small cameras attached to their officers are supposed to turn the cameras on and keep them rolling any time they make an arrest, use force, or when an encounter escalates. the hope, to provide clarity in cases like this. watch as a dashboard camera records a police officer tackling a suspect. we have no idea why. now, watch the same encounter from the officer's body cam. the suspect suddenly becoming violent. apparently provoking the response. but gwen carr, eric garner's mother, for one, doesn't think body cams would have made any difference for her son. it's not just new york. also los angeles, philadelphia,

we now know about daniel pantaleo.is astounding that he is being talked about as a model have among other things the lawsuit and settlement from 2013, the image of him with that chokehold, but the other officers, some were granted immunity. i don't know if they will be fired in this investigation that begins today by the police commissioner. >> it is acting in concert. you will find -- for instance, in ferguson, they showed the video of michael brown going in and stealing some cigars and hands them to his friends and he puts them back on the counter and they leave. that went from larceny to robbery. taking him in man tried to retrieve it, brown question, and the two went out the door. the other fella that was with brown could be charged with acting in concert because he came with michael brown, the crime was committed, he did not do anything to stop michael, and he left with michael. here are police officers acting in concert in taking down a large man who was not in distress because of his weight or diabetes. he only

officials with new york's police union speak glowingly about daniel pantaleo who one member says is notot head. >> he's a model of what we want a police officer to be. >> reporter: a union official says pantaleo has over 300 arrests with very few citizen complaints but now his gun and badge have been taken from him after the garner incident and cnn has learned pantaleo's record is not untarnished. he's been sued twice for lawful arrest and imprisonment. one suit was brought by two men who alleged that in 2012 pantaleo rounded them up on false drug charges. >> pantaleo strip searched both mr. rice and mr. collins in public outside the car right in the street open to public view. >> reporter: the complaint says pantaleo and another officer, quote, pulled down plaintiffs' pants and underwear and searched their genital area. the suit was settled for $30,000. the single staten island native joined the force in july 2006. his father a retired new york firefighter and uncle who was a city policeman. his supporters say daniel pantaleo has up held the family tradition honorably. >> he's a mature

based on the autopsy, do you think the officer daniel pantaleo should have been indicted? >> absolutely, erin. this is an excellent facility and they are conservative in dealing with matters like this. for them to have labelled this and described it in detail as they did is commendable and sets forth a scenario that in my opinion cannot be argued with. there are multiple focal areas of hemorrhage in both sides of the north carolina in the muscles we call the strap muscles and soft tish a-- tissu and that means pressure was put on both sides, as opposed to what someone said, pressure on one side. there were multiple hemorrhage on the eyes and the body and the face was sianotic. and it produced veinous production and couldn't make its way back into the heart and the pressure would be so great that blood to the brain would have been compromised. and you have nerved from the chest that send fibers to the heart and lungs and that pressure can produce cardiac stand still. so it is a serious matter. >> and it is a serious matter. and that is the manner of death, homicide. but the

while daniel pantaleo will not face any criminal charges, u.s. attorney general eric holder said there could be an investigation into possible civil rights violations. >> this has had -- tested the sense of trust that must exist between law enforcement communities and those they are served -- charged to protect. this is not a new york nor a ferguson issue alone. >> the justice department launched a similar investigation after the grand jury in missouri decided not to indict the police officer that killed michael brown in august. >> there is a sense that there is a breakdown in trust by the police and communities. organizers are calling for a march in washington next week. more people's reaction to the decision. >> protests had already broken out in new york city when mayor bill de blasio stepped up to the left turn on staten island. his first comments of the grand jury's decision not to indict the nypd officer involved in the death of eric garner. >> it's a very emotional day for our city, a very painful day for so many new yorkers. that is the c

reporter: shock was the first reaction for many to the news the grand jury would not indict officer daniel pantaleo for the death of eric garner. there has to be justice somewhere or another. >> reporter: outrage wasn't far behind. >> every black man is a target. guess what? this don't end here. >> reporter: eric garner's widow. >> a cop that did wrong, somebody that got paid to do right did wrong. >> reporter: the deadly confrontation on july 17 was caught on a passerby cell phone. police were trying to arrest the 43-year-old garner for allegedly selling illegal cigarettes. garner tried to resist. >> leave me alone. >> reporter: officer pantaleo enter the scene and took him down with a choke hold. >> damn, man... >> reporter: the nypd banned the use of choke holds in 1993. the medical examiner said garner's death was caused by compressions to his neck and chest during physical restraint by police. >> that was cold-blooded murder! the whole world knows it! >> reporter: 23 grand juries had been hearing evidence and witnesses since september. officer pantaleo appeared two weeks ago. in a statement th

there was a case between garner and officer daniel pantaleo. garner was pronounced dead at the hospital. pantaleo was stripped of his gun and badge. and then they suspended four emts and workers without pay. august 1st it was ruled a death by choke hold. in late september a grand jury began hearing evidence against officer panteleo and on october 13th, a new york counsel man criminalized the use of the choke hold by nypd officer. robert, i believe you've heard a lot of that conversation with leo, but let me start here. are you surprised at all by this decision? >> well, no, unfortunately, i'm not surprised because this type of decision is par for the course as it relates to police officers and african-americans. i listened to your guest, and with all due respect and i try to be as respectful as i can, he's just flat out wrong when he's talking about positional asphyxia. the medical examiner has a number of options he can place on that autopsy. positional asphyxia. that didn't happen here. he said it was due specifically to the choke hold. you c

garner and michael brown and the grand jury decision that cleared officers darren wilson and daniel pantaleo certainly both of these are serious tragedies that we have seen in our society. and i think the american people would like to understand more what the facts were. and there are a lot of unanswered questions that americans have and that i have. i do think the american people deserve more answers about what really happened here and was our system of justice handled properly. lou: house leaders that are republican joined by george w. bush and told another network today that i thought how sad the verdict was hard to understand. it is sad that race continues to play such an emotional part of life. and on immigration amnesty, it turns out there may not be much difference between democrats and republicans after all, at least in her leadership republican leaders sailing under a false flag on the issue of illegal immigration. house rules committee chairman pete sessions is assuring democrats and republicans will push through full amnesty and 2015. >> is communities, we should create circumstan
