Esaw Snipes-Garner, the widow of Eric Garner, dismissed the apology of the police officer who placed her husband in a fatal chokehold, telling TODAY's Savannah Guthrie it came far too late.

"The time to apologize or have any remorse, like I said yesterday, would have been when my husband was screaming he couldn't breathe," she told Guthrie on Thursday, the morning after a New York grand jury decided against indicting police officer Daniel Pantaleo.

Garner's husband, 43, was unarmed when he died last July shortly after Pantaleo put him in a chokehold. The entire confrontation was captured on video.
