Eric Garner’s Daughter Tweets, Deletes Link to Address of NYPD Cop

Eric Garner‘s daughter tweeted, then deleted, a link to a potential address of an NYPD officer who was present during the chokehold death of her father, the New York Post reported.

Erica Garner, who has almost 5,500 Twitter followers, said in the tweet that Officer Justin D’Amico was “another officer that helped killed [sic] my dad,” and included a link to addresses of D’Amico and five possible relatives. She also said it was “just something light.” It was reportedly retweeted more than 500 times before it was deleted. The hashtag #Doxx means someone is revealing personal information. The Post says Garner only deleted the tweet after they inquired about it.

An NYPD source told the Post that the tweet was “disgusting” and “poses grave danger” to D’Amico and his family. “She clearly wants someone to go to the officer’s house and assassinate him in cold blood just like Ramos and Liu,” the paper’s source claimed.

Garner family lawyer Jonathan Moore told the Post that Garner did not know what was in that link: “Nobody in the Garner family, including Erica, would consciously send information out about the personal address or phone number or any identifying information about the police officers, particularly after what happened to those two officers,” he said.
