Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee Calls for the Firing of the NYPD Officer Responsible for Taking the Life of Eric Garner
Jackson Lee—“The time has come for the individual responsible for Eric’s death to face accountability, and be fired from the New York Police Department. This is the right course of action and should be done for many reasons. First, if our efforts at ensuring greater community police relationships are to have any meaning, then all stakeholders must feel that there is accountability when police officers err. This is one-such occasion where ideals about restorative justice dictate that all stakeholders stand collectively for the officer’s firing. This is the only conclusion given what the video of Eric’s last moments of life shows: the officer who killed Eric was not in fear for his life. Eric was not combative—in fact, the video shows him flailing, begging for his life, telling his apprehender that he could not breathe. My conversations with his mother—whom I know personally—further underscore that this father and grandfather was not a menace to society; rather, he was like the countless other African American men whose life was wrongly taken by law enforcement. It is time for accountability and responsibility and terminating this officer’s employment is the obligation of people who support enhanced police relations. It is time for all parties dealing with law enforcement across the nation to insist on police accountability and integrity. In addition to community-oriented policing as a method of training police, police departments across the nation should work to improve police/community relations as part of a community-oriented policing strategy. And, it is time for the man who took Eric Garner’s life to be fired from his position as an officer on the NYPD and it is time for the Garner family to have peace and justice.”
