Thousands Nationwide March for Eric Garner

By Jamilah King Dec 04, 2014

Protesters across the country rallied last night for Eric Garner after a New York grand jury failed to indict Officer Daniel Pantaleo for Garner’s chokehold death. The decision came a little more than a week after another grand jury in Ferguson declined to indict former Officer Darren Wilson in Mike Brown’s shooting death in August, meaning that emotions were raw and frustrations were at an all-time high. Here’s a brief scan of rallies in various cities calling for an end to the violent killing of unarmed black men by law enforcement.
