Protesters flood New York City streets following grand jury decision

 

The New York Police Department arrested dozens of people Wednesday night demonstrating against a Staten Island grand jury decision not to charge New York City Police Officer Daniel Pantaleo in the choking death of Eric Garner on July 17.

The protesters were arrested near the Rockefeller Center.

There were separate protests in other locations of the city, including Times Square and the great hall of Grand Central Station.

The demonstrators held placards with messages such as “Black Lives Matter,” and “Respect human lives.”

Similar demonstrations have been held in Washington DC, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, San Francisco and Oakland.
