Democratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren on Friday called for NYPD Officer Daniel Pantaleo to be canned after an administrative judge recommended he be fired for the 2014 death of Eric Garner.
“Officer Pantaleo should be fired. Eric Garner’s family has waited too long for justice — we need more civilian oversight to hold police accountable when they fail,” the Massachusetts senator tweeted.
The police department suspended Pantaleo after the ruling, saying such a move was standard in disciplinary cases where termination has been recommended.
A spokesman said that the final decision rests with NYPD Commissioner James O’Neill.
