Erica Garner, Eric Garner’s daughter, is in the hot seat today regarding a Tweet she sent out over the Christmas holidays, causing outrage among New York City Police department officers and supporters. According to a report by the New York Post, at 1:45 a.m., Erica Garner tweeted the name of one of the officers who was present during her father’s choke hold death. The message she posted to Twitter stated the following.“another officer that helped killed my dad”
According to the Daily Mail, the message was posted with an accompanying link that sent readers to a website which contained the address of police officer Justin D’Amico and several of his possible family members. Justin D’Amico was Daniel Pantaleo’s partner. A grand jury did not indict Daniel Pantaleo in the choke hold death of Eric Garner. The website that contained the private information is Pastebin.com, a sort of a dropbox-style website application which allows anyone to paste text to share.
Some say Erica Garner’s actions, though harmful, are understandable, since she feels that her family received no justice. People lash out when angry or hurt, community members say. NYPD officers believe that her actions were dangerous, “disgusting,” and showed her true character. Others agreed that tweeting a police officer’s private information could cause harm to the officer and his family members.
