New York Mayor announces retraining of New York Police [View all]

See:

NY Mayor:
“Fundamental questions are being asked, and rightfully so,” he said. “The way we go about policing has to change.”

Also, NY Governor said he would seek a broad review of New York’s criminal justice system, including issues like police training and the grand jury process, in the legislative session that begins in January.

“I think we should look at the whole system,” Mr. Cuomo said on “The Capitol Pressroom.” “This is not just Eric Garner. It’s not just Missouri. It’s bigger and broader.”

So, hopefully, something good, necessary changes, will result from Eric Gardner's senseless death.
