Eric Garner’s Daughter Lays Wreath in Honor Of Slain NYPD Officers

Posted by | December 22, 2014 20:30 | Filed under: Contributors Mark Quincy Adams Opinion Top Stories


In a touching display of compassion and unity, Emerald Snipes, daughter of the man who died in a police choke-hold, Monday visited the Brooklyn sight where two NYPD Officers were killed. She laid a wreath, gave her respects and made a few comments.

Eric Garner’s daughter said she was touched by the heart-wrenching message one officer’s son, 13-year-old Jaden Ramos, posted online after his father’s murder. “It hit my heart,” Emerald Snipes, 22, said as she laid the wreath at Tompkins and Myrtle Aves. in Bedford-Stuyvesant, where Rafael Ramos and Weinjen Liu were slain Saturday. “Today I had to say bye to my dad,” Jaden wrote on Facebook the night his father was killed. “It’s horrible that someone gets shot dead just for being a police officer … I will always love you and never forget you.” Snipes said she could relate. “I know how it feels in this season to not have your father around,” she said.

    This is disturbing. Which cop, union official or city official paid their respects to the Garner family? Or, any other family member of any of the young men gunned down by police this year, or any year?

      I don’t believe any did but perhaps this will set an example should, heaven forbid, a similar tragedy happens again.

        One can hope.

            I am just planted, I am playing nice by either asking questions pertaining to a post from a racist or using actual comments from a history of a poster and using it against them…most just shut up and move on. One right now has posted and other posts were not allowed to even show. It is hilarious

    Courageous move. Bravo. I would be paranoid that one of the crazy cops would strike out simply because I DARED to come and pay respects.

    • whatthe46 December 22nd, 2014 at 22:05

      if i were the famiy member of the slain cops, i would seriously be questioning the department itself. get rid of the racist cops you know are in the department and the ones that are corrupt, because of their behavior, this nut case took his revenge out on innocent men. prosecute those responsible for the murders of the innocent as they would any other. DO YOUR FK’N JOB!

    I hope this gets wide coverage in New York and will help cool down some of the hot heads like Giuliani and police leaders who point fingers, when they should be looking in the mirror.
