Emerald Garner is the youngest daughter of six children and is currently the Executive Director of the nonprofit We Can’t Breathe Inc., which is inspired by her late father, Eric Garner,  who was murdered at the hands of a now former police officer Daniel Pantaleo in 2014 after putting him in the now illegal choke hold. She has become the leading voice in the fight for justice for her father and has vowed to never stop fighting laws and policies that help police officers get away with murder.

Emerald joins the show to give her thoughts on the Sonya Massey shooting, and to also talk about the changes she believes need to be made in our justice system.
