Esaw Garner, Widow of Eric Garner, Responds to Apology From Cop Who Murdered Him: “Hell No.”

Esaw Garner, Death of Eric Garner


Following the grand jury decision not to charge officer Daniel Pantaleo with the murder of Eric Garner with the use of a prohibited choke hold maneuver, Esaw Garner, addressed the press. Joined by members of her family, including their children as well as Al Sharpton, Garner responded to Pantaleo’s condolences. When asked outright if she would accept his apologies, she answered “Hell No.”

I could care less about his condolences. He’s still working, he’s still getting a paycheck, he’s still feeding his kids. And my husband is 6 feet under, and I’m looking for a way to feed my kids now.

The time for remorse would have been when my husband was screaming to breath.
