| Subject: Vigil, march for NY man who died in police custody Tue Jul 22, 2014 10:05 pm | |
| Family, friends and community leaders are holding a vigil and demanding justice for a Staten Island man who died in New York police custody. They gathered Tuesday night at a park near where police attempted to arrest 43-year-old Eric Garner on suspicion of selling untaxed cigarettes. They marched several blocks to a police precinct and lit candles in Garner's memory. Garner's arrest last week was captured on an amateur video that shows an officer apparently putting him in a banned chokehold. At the vigil, Garner's sister, Ellisha Flagg, said their mother has a "very, very heavy heart." City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito said she's determined to make sure Garner's death is fully investigated. Police say they will revamp training on the use of force. Garner's funeral is Wednesday.
