Opinions split over Eric Garner ruling on Staten Island

Clip: 12/4/2014 | 3m 58s

It’s also where Eric Garner died in a fatal incident with a police officer, as well as where members of the grand jury who ruled on Garner’s death reside. How are people there responding? The NewsHour’s William Brangham reports.
