Kizzy Adonis
After Daniel Pantaleo was fired, the only other NYPD officer involved with Eric Garner's death to be disciplined was a Black woman. Kizzy Adonis and four other officers have kept their jobs despite their roles in the chokehold death.
In a major step in the aftermath of Eric Garner's death, which touched off a nationwide movement against police brutality, federal prosecutors began presenting evidence to a grand jury on Wednesday, reports The New York Times.
Erica Garner is angry about charges the NYPD announced last week against Sgt. Kizzy Adonis in connection with her father's death, noting that a Staten Island grand jury did not indict NYPD officer Daniel Pantaleo, who was captured on a cell phone video wrestling Garner to the ground, according to SILive.
