New York City Protests Continue over Eric Garner Decision; "Millions March" Planned for Saturday 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


 
Protests have continued in New York City for a seventh straight night
since a grand jury decision not to indict a police officer for the death
of Eric Garner. On Tuesday, demonstrators staged a "die-in" inside Grand
Central Station, lying on the ground, simulating choking, and chanting
Garner's last words, "I can't breathe." A group of high schoolers staged
a walkout, marching to the Brooklyn office of federal prosecutor and
attorney general nominee Loretta Lynch to demand federal intervention. A
group of young black activists have organized what they are calling a
"Millions March" in New York City as part of a national day of action on
Saturday.
