Eric Garner’s mother watched judicial proceeding on NYPD killing while at work, outraged by lack of transparency

For the last two weeks, Eric Garner’s mother sat at her desk at a Staten Island office, continuing to work while listening to NYPD cops testify in graphic detail about her son’s killing in a police chokehold. Gwen Carr, who became a national figure in the movement for police reform following Garner’s death on July 17, 2014, multitasked during the landmark judicial proceeding she sought for years. One moment she was outraged by a cop’s testimony. The next, she had to step away and collect herself when a video of her son’s death was played yet again. The next, she managed payroll. “I have to lis......
