On behalf of the people of the Ninth District of New York and myself, I wish to express my most sincere and heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Mr. Eric Garner. I am concerned that the practice and use of the choke hold, essentially choking people as a means of executing an arrest has continued to occur, despite regulations that prohibit its use by the New York City Police Department. I urge Mayor Bill de Blasio and Commissioner William Bratton to pursue a full and thorough investigation into the death of Eric Garner while in the custody of the NYPD, both to secure justice for the family of Eric Garner and to prevent such incidents from ever occurring again in the future.
