5．NEW YORK----Family members gathered on Wednesday evening for the funeral of Eric Garner，who died shortly after police put him in a banned chokehold as they arrested him in Staten Island of New York，where the death has cause anger and a promise to reform police training．Garner's wife，Esaw Garner，entered the Bethel Baptist Church in Brooklyn，supported by two young boys，looking upset and exhausted．After her followed six children of the family．Garner's dying moments on a Staten Island sidewalk last Thursday were recorded on by bystanders．Mayor Bill Blasio，who was elected partly because he once promised to mend the worn relations between New York police and the local ethnic minorities，has called the death a tragedy．
In the videos，Garner，who was black，can be seen arguing with several police officers arresting him suspected of selling untaxed cigarettes outside a beauty parlor．
Moments later，he was down on the sidewalk with an officer's arm around his neck，pleading（恳求） repeatedly that he couldn't breathe．After he fell down，at least seven minutes passed without any apparent attempts at medical help．
The Staten Island district lawyer and the police department's internal affairs are investigating Garner's death．
The city's police have been banned from using the chokehold for more than 20years because it can be deadly，particularly when used on someone who is overweight，as Garner was．
Two of the police officers involved have been put on desk duty and four emergency response workers were suspended without pay．Actually，a complete check of police training was started on Tuesday，focusing on the proper use of force．
