.AOC on Eric Garner: 'His life was not disposable'
Pantaleo's lawyer has argued that the officer did not use a chokehold, but used a takedown move taught by the department. The officer's defense team has maintained that Garner died of heart failure, not as a result of Pantaleo's actions.
While Pantaleo was taken off active duty following the incident, he has remained on the NYPD's payroll since. While the Attorney's Office has until the fifth anniversary of Garner's death, July 17, to decide whether they will pursue charges before the statute of limitations on the case expires, the NYPD departmental hearing began on May 13, ending on Thursday.
