garner. but none of us can take back our decisions especially when they lead to the death of another human being. >> shortly after those comments members of eric garner's family reacted for making what they believe is the right decision but underscoring the point that their fight for justice is not over. >> commissioner o'neill, i thank you for doing the right thing. i truly and sincerely thank you for firing the officer regardless to however you came up to your decision, you finally made a decision that should've been made five years ago. we will be going for the congressional hearings. we will be trying to reopen the case. we will be going after the rest of the officers involved because it's not over. justice for new york city means pantaleo is fired and there's no murdering cop on the police force. >> in a moment eric garner's children as well as reverend al sharpton who held that press conference earlier today will join me. but i want to first start with nbc's ron allen from nypd headquar

it did not start with eric garner. why were they arresting eric garner in the first place? one of the advances police department have made and thanks a lot to the administration and the new york city council. it is trying to, increase the amount of summits and deaths, when you have low level offenses rather than wrath. >> let's talk about this. we got a statement from the pba. it is interesting, the president of the pba association says police commissioner o'neill made his choice. he chosen politics over the police officers he claims to leave, he chosen to cringe in the face of antipolice extremists rather than standing up for new yorkers who want to function police department with cops who are empowered to protect them and their family. it goes on and it is a bit of a rant. no maya's point, the idea that officer pantaleo did something contrary in which something he's been trained. that's not the determination it was made here. they're saying he's fired for doing something he was trained not to do. this response seems way outside considering this was taken five years just t

garner gasping, i can't breathe 11 times. we'll speak with his daughter, emerald garner.hen to portland, oregon, where hundreds of members of the proud boys, and other right wing groups rallied in the streets this past weekend and were escorted by police and outnumbered by counterprotesters. >> we absolutely reject terrorism, anti-facists are not anti-terrorists. we stand up for our community and defend it from people who want to do our community great harm. amy: we'll get response from rlede commissioner joe ann hardesty and shane burly who covered the protest, author of "facism today, what it is and how to end it." and in afghanistan, a series of bomb attacks rocked the country that markeked 100 years of independence from british rule. >> i was in the city to celebrate independence day when i heard a big sound of a blast. i saw several people who were injured. amy: the attacks came as the u.s. and taliban are reportedly close to a peace deal after months of talks that include plans for u.s. troop withdrawal. we'll go to kabul to speak with the head of the news. all that

garner's upper body. occupy to that point in this tense and rapidly evolving situation, there was nothing to suggest that officer pantaleo attempted to place mr. garner in a chokehold but what happened next is the matter we must address. the two men stumbled backwards toward the large plate glass window, the storefront behind them and officer pantaleo's back made contact with the glass, causing the window to visibly buckle and warp. the person videotaping the episode later testified at the nypd trial that he thought both men would crash through the glass. at that point in the video that officer pantaleo is seen with his hands clasped together and his left forearm pressed against mr. garner's neck in what constitutes a chokehold. nypd court ruled that while certainly not preferable, that hold was acceptable during that brief moment in time because the risk of falling through the window was so high. but that extingent circumstance no longer existed, the court found, when officer pantaleo and mr. garner move

garner's stress is evident.d that officer pantaleo's contact meets the threshold and recklessness caused multilayered internal bruising and hemorrhaging that impaired his physical condition and caused substantial pain and a significant factor in triggering an asthma attack. for all these reasons taken together even after reviewing officer pantaleo's service record leading up to that day, the trial commissioner recommended that he be dismissed from the department. in making this penalty recommendation, she wrote, this tribunal recognizes that from the outside, outset, he was not compliant and argumentative and they allow officers to use force when necessary. what the patrol guide did not allow, however, even when this individual was resisting arrest, was the use of prohibited choke hold. as you know, a number of external authorities have asked many of the same questions we have about this incident. on august 19th, 2014, about a month after mr. garner's death, the staten island district attorney's office announce

garner. chokeholds are against nypd rules. but the departmental judge hearing the case found that chokehold was acceptable for the first couple of seconds because officer pantaleo's grip slipped accidentally into a chokehold. its what happened after that that killed eric garner. here's how the police commissioner described that today. >> during the struggle, officer pantaleo had the opportunity to re-adjust his grip from a pro hinted chokehold to a less lethal alternative but did not make use of that opportunity. instead, even once mr. garner was move to his side on the ground with his left arm behind his back and right arm still open and extended, officer pantaleo kept his hands clasped and maintained the chokehold. >> it was for that reason and the finding that he did not tell the truth to investigators that judge recommended that daniel pantaleo be fired. her recommendation was addressed to police commissioner james o'neal who has the exclusive authority to make the final departmental deci

garner to death. and the opinion that was released today the administrative law judge found that officer pantaleo lied when he claimed he had not used a choke hold and that in fact his conduct was reckless. it was a gross deviation from what a police officer is supposed to do. chris, i don't think anybody should be satisfied when five years later a homicidal cop who choked a man to death is told he can no longer be a police officer. that's what is supposed to pass for justice? for people of color. and it's insufficient. the fact is that in the five years since eric garner was killed, there had been 800 complaints of other police officers who have used illegal choke holds, only 2% of those cases have resulted in some kind of punishment from the officer and the punishment has been losing vacation days or being docked a couple of days pay. so this is a baby step in terms of the kind of transformation that police departments all over the country need and if that transformation is ever accomplished, people

garner is standing there. arrested some 30 times, "the wall street journal" reported for a whole host of different crimes. most of them petty crimes but also assault and grand larceny. now, he decides he's not going to be arrested. when the officers tell him to turn around and put his hands behind his back, he resists. michael to your point, he's never agressive to the officers, he doesn't try to attack him. but when police instruct to bring someone in, to have them imply, to have them in court, and they don't, it appears that officer pantaleo tried to wrestle him to the ground. it prevents them from being hurt. obviously that didn't help in this instance. and it provides for the arresting officers to be put in harm's way as well. go ahead -- >> but by my count there are six or seven police officers. >> yes. >> why was it necessary for pantaleo to perform that tactic, whether it was a choke hold or not? surely, there was another way, with six or seven guys there to bring him in? >> absolutely. generally speaki

it will not bring eric garner back but i hope it brings kl closure and peace to the garner family. now we have to look beyond this tragedy because our city is at a pivotal moment and i'm reminded of what dr. king taught us, paraphrasing him, "in moments of suffering or difficulty, there are two-ways we can respond -- we can react with bitterness and division and we can be trapped by the sins of our past or we can transform the suffering into progress. we can find redemption. we can use moment like this to turn it into something better, to move ourselves forward. and that is for all of us to do. we can't have the illusion that someone else creates a better society. that is for all of us to do. we have to do it. we have to all create something better. and i see this as a sacred mission we all must take on. we must devote ourselves to this simple goal that no person, no family, no community should ever go through the agony that we've all experienced here over these last years. it should never happen again. n. th in this city or in this country. that is the only goal that is acceptable

but it's not going to bring eric garner back.hen bad cops do bad things, they need to be held accountable so that there isn't questions about the way they are doing their job. >> charles: the thin blue line was a real bad thing. i think that's gone. let's keep building on that. >> nicole: i worked in a hospital where we had prisoners coming in daily, and you had a lot of criminals faking illnesses just to get out and be in the hospital setting. but when i see a grown man on the ground with one arm around his neck and people on top of him and he is saying he can't breathe, this crosses the line there. >> dagen: moving on. new reaction from the pentagon after the trump administration withdraws from a decades-old the nuclear treaty with russia and pins the blame on moscow. details next. plus, president trump taking aim at cities run by democrats during his campaign rally last night. we'll debate that strategy added. ♪ fact is, every insurance company hopes you drive safely. but allstate helps you. with drivewise. feedback that helps

garner's pleas that he could out breathe t attention to the case and lives matter movement. here was police commissioner james o'neill making the announcement. >> in this case, the unintended consequence of mr. garner's death must have a consequence of its own.er ore, i agree with the deputy commissioner recommendations. it is clear that daniel pantaleo can no longer effectively serve as a new york city police ofcer. sophie: a brief time ago i spoke to the bbc's nick bryant about the case. bring us up-to-date. some time has passed between the sad passing and today's decision. s ilck: fimers have passed, and the garner fhas been pressing for a long time for the oncking of daniel pantaleo. one of the reasons it ok so long was the criminal justicepl system had t out. there was a grand jury that decided not to bring charges agnst him in staten island which is where eric garner died. and then the justice department, rafe prosecutors decided they would not seek criminal prosecution, because they thought there was insufficient evidence. an internal disciplinary procedure started wi

the officer who used a banned choke hold on garner has been fired.oth the police union and supporters of the garner family are not happy. we get more now from jen britain grass. sgl>> this was emotional for everyone involved in this situation that happened five years ago finally coming to head in a decision being made police commissioner firing daniel pant lay owe, the officer seen on video giving a choke hold to eric garner in 2014, essentially that ended his life. it was emotional for the police commissioner as he said he's been a cop for 34 years and now he's in this position of administrative role where he had to make a final decision knowing that the rank and file were not going to be happy with it. >> carrying out the court's verdict in this case, i take no pleasure. there are no victors here today. not the garner family, not the community at large, ask certainly not the gray krai jous men and women of the police department. >> his decision is in agreement with the trial judge who decided that the officer needed to be dismissed from his duties.

after the death of eric garner, everything was re-evaluated. the entire police force was retrained. 36,000 officers retrained to de-escalate conflict, to understand the implicit bias that we all carry with us, to ensure it would not interfere with their duty. the approach to the community is entirely different today. we have to weed out the distance and the separation that was the norm of the past and through neighborhood policing actually create a dynamic where our officers and community members got to know each other as human beings. where people felt they were on the same side working toward a common goal. and we had to change the approach on the ground. last year there were 150,000 fewer arrests than five years earlier because there were too many times when people were being arrested unnecessarily and too many conflicts that came from it. and this nypd proved that fewer and fewer people could be arrested and the city could become safer. safety and fairness must walk hand in hand. and i hoped that today begins the process of restoring some f

eric garner did not have to die.ways of policing that can stop this from happening, and this nypd today would never have done things that way, that's the important point, to never let there be another tragedy. every police force in america should be trained in deescalation, implicit bias. every police officer in america should have a body camera so it never happens again. washington has something to do. the justice department needs to confirm if there is god forbid another situation, they will step in and make a decision fast. >> let's talk about your presidential race. >> yes. >> cnn has a new poll out just this hour. let us pull that up right now. joe biden is doing very well. joe biden has gone up since june. he's at 29%. i guess the bad news there is bill de blasio is there under 1%. it's not 0%, but it is under 1%. i'm wonder, what do you think that's about? >> first of all, i'm looking forward to sunday on this network, town hall meeting that i think is going to give a lot of people a chance to get to know me,

we are waiting to hear from garner's mother, rev.s is obviously been five years and we've been waiting and the question i think for a lot of people, there are a million questions, but the biggest one is this is the end of the story or is this not the end of the story? >> no. it's not the end of the story. his daughter and son said that the press conference this morning. there is a commitment made to the mother by congressman jerry nadler that he's going to do judicial hearings on why and what happened in terms of the federal investigation. and there is the request since we have a new da in staten island to reopen the state case. you must remember that police said that eric garner had 10,000 cigarettes. that ended up not being true. there were statements made that were patently untrue. if those statements were made to a grand jury, that's perjury. but even as important as all of that is this was a police policy no chokeholds, cannot use chokeholds and the commissioner cited that today. we want to see that made federal and/or state law

showing eric garner's death in 2014. the death was ruled a homicide by the new york medical examiner and crits canner s s ccriticize hold when he was being questioned for selling loose signers. garner's last words, i can't breathe, became a slogan for protests which many saw as excessive force. the issue came up on the presidential debate and de blasio was questioned on stage. >> i know the garner family has gone through extraordinary pain and they're waiting for justice and there's going to be justice. i have confidence in that in the next 30 days in new york, you know why. because for the first time we're not waiting on the federal justice department. which told the city of new york we could not proceed. >> joining me now with more on this is rehema ellis. the judge gives the recommendation to the defense and to the family and then something else happens with that. what has the reaction been and what has the nypd said? >> first what the pd had done is they suspended pantaleo. suspended.n on desk duty and now the police

the garner family deserves it, first and foremost. we as a city need to end this chapter and move forward. i believe my role is to respect this process and respect the state law. that's the best way to get to that closure. >> reporter:he power to fire i emphasize to everyone that's american valley. everyone in this room should value due process. the problem here is that we listen to the united states justice department under two different administrations and we respected their demand that we hold back. we move forward. we are governed by state law and that's with the process has been. due process, a trial, a decision by a judge, a final decision by the police commissioner. yes? >> reporter: mr. -- >> julie: i want to bring in our panel to discuss. he's been adamant that this police behavior is not going be tolerated. this choke hold. it's prohibited by the nypd. the police commissioner has met with the wife of eric garner several times but she was a bit disappointed that the mayor had not done more. is this enough to satisfy the famil
