'Slain Bronx anti-crime cop Brian Mulkeen was killed in a hail of friendly fire from fellow anti-crime officers while trying to make a gun bust in 2019. '
'Former officer Daniel Pantaleo was assigned to the anti-crime unit on Staten Island in July 2014 when he tried to arrest Garner for selling loose cigarettes and put him in a chokehold. '
'The department, however, will still deploy plain-clothes cops in Gotham. '
'The NYPD is disbanding its undercover anti-crime unit — nearly six years after one of its plainclothes cops killed Eric Garner with a chokehold, sparking the rallying cry of “I can’t breathe” for the Black Lives Matter movement. '
'The unit has had a history of high-profile shootings and deaths and, year-over-year, the cops in the patrol account for more than half of police-involved shootings, according to NYPD’s annual discharge reports. '
