The NYPD is eliminating the unit that was involved in the 2014 death of Eric Garner, as city lawmakers and the mayor negotiate proposed cuts to the department's $5.6 billion annual budget
A controversial New York Police Department anticrime unit will be disbanded, police officials said Monday, as negotiations over cutting funding to the department have intensified.
NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea said at a briefing that the department would immediately eliminate the citywide unit, which includes 600 plainclothes officers. The unit has been involved in several high-profile events, including the death of Eric Garner, a black Staten Island man who died in 2014 after an officer placed him in a chokehold.
