Protesters overwhelm NYC in second day of Eric Garner protests - VIDEO
For the second night in a row, thousands of protesters overran the streets of New York, shutting down several major arteries of the city as they expressed outrage over a grand jury decision not to indict an officer for the death of an unarmed black man. ● At least 28 arrests have been reported in Manhattan, though with protests in Brooklyn and elsewhere extending into the night the number is sure to climb. Despite a heavy police presence at most areas, demonstrations were largely peaceful and nonviolent. ● The night of civil disobedience began after up to 10,000 people rallied in Foley Square to blast the grand jury decision in the case of Eric Garner – a Staten Island man who was killed via chokehold as several New York Police Department officers helped take him to the ground. Garner died with Officer Daniel Pantaleo’s arms wrapped around his neck as he yelled, “I can’t breathe.” Although a bystander filmed the entire incident, Pantaleo was not indicted on criminal charges.
