of using a choke hold, which is prohibited by the nypd, in the death of eric garner in 2014 on staten island. we are awaiting a press conference. that will happen any moment now, from new york city held by mayor build balls. meantime, as that of the city's top police union calls the decision "pure political insanity," ted williams, also a criminal defense attorney anna fox news contributor, joins me now. do you believe the police commissioner will follow this judge's recommendation by firing this police officer? >> i met, julie. it's more likely than not that james o'neill of the new york police department will follow this decision by one of his deputy commissioners. >> julie: pantaleo faces two charges. one for using a choke hold. to remind of years, that is prohibited by the nypd. the second is for restricting the man's breathing. how will this play a role in the decision of whether to fire this office or not? it has been five long years. a lot of political pressure has not been thrown into the mix. >> julie, you're absolutely right. it has been five years, and the question is, how fair is

garner died after police tried to arrest him for allegedly selling loose cigarettes allegedly on staten islandh me. [ bleep ] touch me. >> hey. >> okay, okay. >> put your hands behind your head. >> i can't breathe. i can't breathe. i can't breathe. i can't breathe. i can't breathe. i can't breathe. >> once again, the police -- >> ever since garner's death, the police officer accused of choking him, daniel pantaleo is on desk duty. friday, an nypd administrative judge officially recommendeded firing of pantaleo who has now been suspended. some allege that pantaleo used an illegal choke hold on garner and point to the video as proof. pantaleo denied that he used the choke hold. the controversy even made its way into the 2020 race after protesters chanted fire pantaleo when mayor de blasio was on the debate stage. the "new york post" say the opposite. saying the facts say: do not fire daniel pantaleo. joining me, james gillian know. james, it's one of these cases where it's hard to watch that. you're looking at it saying, my god, he's selling one-off cigarettes. who gives a damn. he was killed fo

from the second -- from the, you know, the time before this incident even happened in the area of staten island to the time this went down. literally every minute that occurred. and then the fact he said he watched the video over and over and over again and could specifically point out the fact where it went wrong, where officer pantaleo was not in the right which was, of course, the judge's decision. i want to echo for you, brianna. i've been here in the room. i want to echo what he said. sh was such a difficult decision. i mean, i can just feel it. you feel it in this room. he was emotional. i was sitting next to the executive staff here with the nypd. some had their heads down when he said he was going to be determine natured. this is a decisioner the commissioner said he didn't make within, you know, the last couple of weeks. he said he made it just within the last couple of days taking into account all that he could but sticking to the facts like, of course, any cap has to do, right? >> all right. stand by. i want to bring in cheryl dorsey to talk about all of this. she brings vast perspec

the staten island grand jury looked at this and they could not vote a true bill. >> they didn't indicte standard of proof is beyond a reasonable doubt. in this instance it was a preponderance of the evidence more likely than not. i can never ever argue that i understand what it's like to be a black man in america, i can't. and nor can some people who look at this case and try to assume what it's like to be a police officer in the city of new york. new york city has 35,000 police officers, the most diverse police department in the country. they are a model of restraint. what officer pantaleo did that day was respond to a call from a senior that suggested that he arrest a man for breaking the law. he was selling cigarettes. but that was the law. and he was responding to that. when eric garner said don't touch me, please stop and you're not doing this to me today, he's 6 foot 3, 350 pounds, he didn't attack the officers but he refused to comply with lawful orders. away and leave him there on the sidewalk. >> we get into what are you supposed to do. one of the things i need to put aside, t

i think that he should have acted when dan donovan from staten island, i think way back then should haven fired right on the spot. i think he should have been fired until the investigation was done. i think he should have been fired, you know, even while the investigation was going on. you know, he was still getting paid. he was getting how you call paid and advances and everything that a regular cop would get but being on the beat. and the only thing they did was so-called keep him off the street. mayor de blasio, like i've said i met with him several times and he just kept saying, oh, you know, it's this person's responsibility, it's that person's responsibility. they just keep passing the buck and it's really annoying. >> and were you surprised when you heard protesters disrupt the debate about your son's case? >> it's not my son -- it's my husband. >> sorry, about your husband's case. were you surprised that that came up at the debate? >> no, because it needs to be brought up, you know? the people that were there that did it, i'm so thankful that they did it, you know? we need to cal

the staten island district attorney declined to bring those charges. mayor de blasio was waiting on them to act. and attorney general barr said that charges would not be brought. in doing so, he overruled the experience career lawyers in the civil rights division who thought there should be charges brought and they could get a conviction. the evidence here was overwhelming in this 47-page opinion tha reportedly wrote. it's not public ye pantaleo used force. >> you talk about the role of dee blasio. during the democratic debate when this issue came up. i want to play that clip, paul, and get your reaction about the implications on the other side. let's take a look. >> officer pantaleo used a check hold that was prohibited by the nypd. he did that for seven seconds. 11 different times eric garner said he couldn't breathe. he knew what he was doing, and he has not been brought to justice. that police officer should be off the street. >> i know the garner family. they've gone through extraordinary pain. they're awaiting for justice and they're going to get

what does that mean, it means that the district attorney at the time and staten island, dan donovan who was in 2018, he presented the case, didn't get an indictment. i can tell you as a former prosecutor that a grand jury, indeed, a prosecutor could, and a grand jury would indict a ham sandwich and so when you don't get an indictment, it's because that's how you leave the jury. it's a smack in the face to the family. moving forward, there was no action as it related to his discipline, and the questions were why. mayor de blasio said the justice department told me not to do anything. every state, every city is a sovereign. the federal government doesn't tell you what to do. you do as mayor what you think is most appropriate. the police commissioner does what they think is most appropriate. you have the justice department only recently deciding not to pursue charges which i wrote an op-ed column to cnn stating that was an outrage. what was the basis? you know what, we don't know if we could get a conviction. the fact is that you have an obligation to present a case to a grand jury, number

. >> martha: the deputy police commissioner did an investigation after, there was a staten island investigation all that found no criminal activity on the part of this officer, why did she find it? we heard the police commissioner say when he looked at the evidence, he believed the firing was merited. >> the police commissioner is not telling everyone the truth, i know for a fact that police commissioner was not going to fire officer pantaleo. this changed between friday and monday morning, there was an argument between the mayor. this has been accounted to meet through numerous people who told me what occurred at city hall. he was going to give them his pension, the pda had a deal to not fire him and allow officer pantaleo to walk out the door and keep his pension. he's made over 300 rests in the city of new york, he had a good record fighting crime, he's an anti-crime officer who was sent out to enforce cigarettes -- that's not what anti-crime officers do. >> martha: thank you both. there are fires burning across the amazon forest and the social media campaign that has followed is exploding.

protesters began to chant after a cell phone video showed garner being subdued on a staten island streete allegedly had been selling cigarettes illegally. >>paramedics arrived and confirmed that garner had a polls but more than 6 minutes past before garner was put on a stretcher. bystanders asked why no one was helping him find the office. >>nothing garner was pronounced dead before he reached the hospital. a city medical examiner determined the chokehold set in motion a quote lethal cascade of events, including an asthma attack and a fatal heart attack. daniel pantaleo the officer who put garner in the chokehold became the nter of a long and heated controversy. we had. >>grand jury know that there was no crime. we had the feds say there was no crime and now we have politics saying that there was. >>the administrative judge said pen to leo should be fired. >>today is one of the saddest the most damaging days in the history of new york city in the new york city police department. >>eric garner son calls it a step before we still got more steps. >>so we could make sure that this don't happ

and there is the request since we have a new da in staten island to reopen the state case. 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, not going from one commissioner's tenure to another's. it ought to be against the law. and i think that when the commissioner said that if he was a cop he'd be mad at him for making the decision. if he was a cop, he ought to be glad that the police say we're going to enforce the guidelines that you were trained on. don't forget pantaleo was trained against chokeholds. he decided whether it was during the action or before it really doesn't matter that he was going to do what he knew was against police policy. so are we saying now that police are above the law? don't worry about polic

because we had this burl president system where 200 million people in the bronx and 500,000 in staten island each had a borough president. the court is you can't do it. the basic principle one person, one vote, the candidate the most votes wins, those are the basic principles that are applied everywhere in the united states, every single election from dog cacciatore state senator to governor up to two institutions, the two most powerful. united states senate, right, and this might be for another show, but you may have noticed the same number of senators represent the 40 million of california and the half million people of wyoming. not really one person, one votee. and then of course the other institution, the presidency. take a step back for a second and just ponder how preposterous it is that for the most powerful office, that's the case. right? like if you run for class president in the fourth grade, you are elected if and only if you get the most votes. every election. [ applause ] if you run for sheriff or mayor or governor or senator, you win if you get the most votes. that's it. that's
