Eric Garner Jr, Garner's son, said when he runs up and down the basketball court on Staten Island where he learned how to play the game with his dad, the memories come bouncing back. "10 years later, I'm not angry at the police," Garner Jr. said. "I'm angry at Daniel Pantaleo because he didn't have to choke my pops out on a corner like that."
Carr's mission also has her questioning other controversial police protections like qualified immunity. There's a long list of people who have died at the hands of police, one of them George Floyd, who said the same dying words of Eric Garner six years later.
