Activists for Eric Garner, who was killed by police via an illegal chokehold, interrupted opening statements with chants of “Fire Pantaleo.”

The sculptures are billed as the first public art monuments in the world to honor trans women.

Mayor Bill de Blasio: ”We must use every tool we have to ensure that every resident, in every neighborhood, has the same access to cultural opportunities.”

“It’s disappointing that after receiving preferential treatment from the city, James Blake appears to be giving cover to the de Blasio administration for its complete lack of police accountability and transparency instead of supporting the demands of our families and communities for an end to police abuses against us.”

“It’s not close Rikers while we allow law makers to make policy that continues to criminalize Brown and Black people.”

Hundreds of protesters called on Mayor Bill de Blasio to fire Richard Haste, the NYPD officer who fatally shot Graham in 2012.

Police Commissioner James O’Neill: “We failed.”

The agency is taking preventative steps in New York, but it refused to do so after storms ravaged Louisiana.

Daughter Erica Garner tweeted: “This seems like movies.”

William “Bill” Bratton implemented the NYPD’s controversial “broken windows” and CompStat policing policies.

The actions, which started with a protest at New York’s City Hall on April 12, are one part of an ongoing campaign to seek justice for Graham’s death at the hands of an NYPD officer. 

Clinton: “He has addressed it, and I will really defer to him because it is something that he’s already talked about.”

The New York City mayor and presidential candidate made the joke during the annual Inner Circle Dinner.

Inspector General report says NYPD falls down on tracking force, deescalating situations and disciplining officers who use excessive force.

Will Bill Bratton, the pioneer of ‘broken windows’ policing and CompStat, be able to repair the NYPD’s relationship with communities of color?
