NYPD Union Calls For Mayor Bill De Blasio To Be Removed From Office

James O'Neill resigned shortly after firing the officer involved in Eric Garner's death. The Police Benevolent Association (PBA) demanded the firing of Mayor Bill de Blasio, citing a pattern of malfeasance. The PBA voted no confidence in both O'Neill and de Blasio. Officer Daniel Pantaleo was fired five years after using a chokehold on Garner, which contributed to his death. The Justice Department did not charge Pantaleo, but an NYPD judge recommended his termination. De Blasio's spokesperson criticized the PBA's actions as divisive, while O'Neill reportedly had no plans to resign.
