6:36Now PlayingLawyers are battling over whether the NYPD officer should be fired for using the banned chokehold that killed Eric Garner. In his defense, Daniel Pantaleo's attorney, Stuart London said he saved Garner's life by keeping him from falling through the plate glass window.
From NY Daily News:
London argued that Pantaleo used reasonable force to take down and arrest Garner. In his telling, the officer followed NYPD-approved training by putting his hands on Garner’s face as he forced him to the ground. “The expression goes, control the head, control the body," London said.
Also, London said, Garner’s takedown prevented him from crashing through a store window. “He saved both his life and Mr. Garner’s life by taking him to the ground," London declared. []
