Mayor Bill de Blasio calls it a “deeply emotional day” for the family of Eric Garner and for all New Yorkers.
De Blasio said in a statement Wednesday that Garner’s death was a “terrible tragedy.”
He noted that the grand jury’s outcome was one that “many” in New York City “did not want.”
He said peaceful protests can be valuable � but that violence and disorder are wrong.
De Blasio said reforms have been introduced in the hopes of bringing police and the community closer together.
