Grand Jury Declines to Indict Officer Pantaleo in Eric Garner Death

A Staten Island grand jury declined to indict NYPD officer Daniel Pantaleo in the chokehold death of Eric Garner, despite video footage of the incident and a medical examiner's ruling of homicide. The decision triggered mass protests nationwide, including die-ins in which demonstrators chanted 'I can't breathe.' Pantaleo remained on the force until 2019.
