Four emergency workers who responded to the scene of Eric Garners deadly Staten Island arrest have been put on modified duty, the Fire Department said Sunday amid outrage over the violent collar and lack of medical care provided to the heavyset father of six as he lay dying on the sidewalk.
Two NYPD cops involved in the incident had already been pulled from the street Saturday.
Garner died after one officer put him in a chokehold and other cops helped bring him down. He repeatedly called out, I cant breathe, then went still, as bystanders taped the tragic incident.
The emergency workers are not FDNY employees, FDNY spokesman Jim Long said. Rather, they are voluntary workers from Richmond.
