The stalled investigation into the death of Eric Garner may be jump started after the Justice Department have taken a rare move to shake the whole thing up.

After being accused of selling untaxed cigarettes on a Staten Island street corner Eric Garner was murdered by an illegal chokehold at the hands of a police officer. Garner’s last words “I Can’t Breath” have become a symbol of the Black Lives Matter movement and protests against police brutality and racial injustice.

Although from the video evidence it seems obvious, a long investigation has been underway trying to determine whether officers violated Mr. Garner’s civil rights.

The investigation has been stalled “by a dispute because federal prosecutors and Federal Bureau of Investigation officials in New York opposed bringing charges, while prosecutors with the Civil Rights Division at the Justice Department in Washington argued there was clear evidence to do so.” according to the New York Times.

Attorney General Loretta E. Lynch has been trying to find a way to move the case forward.

However, hope that things will move along as they should be have been ignited as an anonymous official source has given details of the shakeup. They said that F.B.I agents involved with the investigation have been replaced with new agents from out-of-state. Also Brooklyn Federal prosecutors are no longer assigned. The full details of the shake up are unclear but hopefully they will be laid out to the public soon.

Officer Pantaleo, the officer who put the chokehold on Garner, maintains that he did not act out of training and although has been stripped of his gun, still remains on desk duty.
