--- LIST OF DEMANDS 1. We demand the immediate firing of Officer Daniel Pantaleo and all officers responsible for the Eric Garner murder. 2. The State of NY will appoint a Special Prosecutor to investigate and prosecute all excessive force and wrongful death cases by police officers, and in particular, immediately appoint a Special Prosecutor in the wrongful death of Eric Garner. 3. We demand the City and State of New York draft legislation making the chokehold illegal, with significant penalties for any officer who uses it. In particular we want the NYPD to adopt clear use of force guidelines that require police to use de-escalation tactics. 4. We demand NYC create an NYPD Training Program - modeled on San Antonios successful Crisis Intervention Training (CIT) or comparable programs - to eliminate racial disparity and police brutality. 5. We demand an immediate end to NYPDs Broken Windows Policing, which overwhelmingly targets black and brown communities while it does not improve neighborhood safety or crime reduction. 6. We demand an end the criminalization of young people in the NY school system. The so-called “school-to-prison pipeline” targets primarily youth of color and has created a generation of youth growing up incarcerated. Mayor de Blasio has made this a hallmark of his historic campaign, but has yet to adopt necessary reforms. 7. We demand that US Attorney General Eric Holder expedite the federal investigation into the death of Eric Garner. 8. We demand immediate passage of the Right To Know Act. 9. We demand that State and all localities engage in complete transparency in regards to profiling, and search and seizure practices, and to provide all public data on other police practices including summonses, arrests and detention practices. 10. We call on Mayor Bill de Blasio, Governor Andrew Cuomo and NY Attorney General Eric Schneiderman to meet with Justice League NYC in order to explore all avenues to make viable implementation of the above demands as immediately and efficiently as possible.
