Eric Garner video shapes New Yorkers' support for police accountability: study

In a household survey of registered voters across New York State, a majority of respondents said that police officers involved in the 2014 arrest and death of Eric Garner should have been indicted; after watching video of the encounter, that proportion jumped from 57 percent to 71 percent. A majority of respondents supported Governor Andrew Cuomo's call for expanded authority to appoint a special prosecutor in cases where police are involved in civilian deaths.
