Rand Paul: Officer involved in Eric Garner's death shouldn't be a policeman

The Kentucky Republican said Daniel Pantaleo lacked “discretion” when he placed Garner in a chokehold for allegedly selling untaxed cigarettes.

“You probably shouldn’t have the power to be a policeman anymore, at the very least,” Paul said at a Mississippi Republican fundraiser, adding that the employment standard for police is “much higher,” according to video by the Clarion-Ledger newspaper…

“I don’t think you can have an officer that makes this bad of a decision work as a policeman,” Paul said on Fox News’ “Hannity.” “And I know that sounds sad, but Eric Garner died, and he didn’t need to die.”
