According to NYPost:
One of Eric Garner's daughters marked Christmas Day by spreading personal information about a NYPD police officer who was present during the chokehold death of her father --- outraging officers still reeling from last week's execution style slaying of two policemen in Brooklyn.
Erica Garner tweeted that cop Justin D'Amico was "another officer that helped kill my dad," and directed her 5,000 plus twitter followers to a Web Page that lists the address for D'Amico and five other possible relatives. The information was viewed about 500 times before Garner's stunning tweet was deleted following inquiries by the Post.
The move came less than a week after a gunman fatally shot cops Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu, following the shooters online post that said he planned to avenge the police killings of Eric Garner on Staten Island and Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri.
The NYPD had some not so nice things to say in return...
An NYPD source says Erica Garner's "disgusting" tweet "poses grave danger" to D'Amico.
"She clearly wants someone to go to the officer's house and assassinate him in cold blood just like Ramos and Liu," the source said.
The head of the NYPD sergeants union, Ed Mullins called the tweet "terrible behavior that continues to cause divisive actions throughout the city."
"The apple doesn't fall far from the tree," Mullins added.
D' Amico got immunity to testify before the Staten Island grand jury that earlier this month cleared fellow cop Daniel Pantaleo in Eric Garner's July 17 death while he was being arrested for illegally peddling loose cigarettes.
Garner family lawyer Jonathan Moore, who is preparing a $75 million dollar suit against the city, didn't deny that Erica Garner posted the tweet, but maintained that she "did not have any knowledge of what was in those links."
"Nobody in the Garner family including Erica, would consciously send information out about the personal address or phone number or any identifying information about the police officers, particularly, after what happened to those two officers," Moore said.
What kinda crap is that? He's going to have to come up with more than that if he wants us to believe him. I know Erica is angry and I send my condolences out to her and her family, but posting that cop's address is not the right way to go about handling this situation. All she did was give the NYPD more to talk about her and her family... And that "apple doesn't fall to far from the tree" statement, what in the hell is that supposed to mean? That's not something you should say about a deceased man or his child. The situation is being handled incorrectly on both ends and I hope that in the end justice is served to all.
