Here’s a little known fact about the Eric Garner case that the mainstream media isn’t reporting: Officer Daniel Pantaleo, the cop who put Eric Garner in a fatal chokehold, was supervised by an African-American female NYPD sergeant.
As reported by New York Daily News:
Having that black sergeant in charge of that crime scene takes race out of the equation. As awful as Pantaleo’s actions appear on that video, at no time does that black sergeant order Pantaleo to stop choking Garner.
With a population that is 70% white and 10% African-American, when a Staten Island grand jury is presented with a white cop supervised by a black sergeant applying a lethal chokehold, it eliminates the racial component.
