Cindy Rodriguez, WNYC reporter, Ashley Southall, reporter at The New York Times' Metro Desk, and Jumaane Williams, New York City Public Advocate, talk about the latest news and the public's reaction to Commissioner James O’Neill's announcement yesterday that the officer involved in the death of Eric Garner five years ago, Daniel Pantaleo, is terminated from the NYPD.

@BrianLehrer I am in agreement with firing Pantaleo. Neither O'Neil nor Lynch touched on the judge's emphasis on the lack of truthfulness of ALL the cops in her trial. The Blue Line is at least as big a problem as the violence against non-threatening civilians.
