'Criming While
White'
Civil rights inquiry
The US saw a wave of race-related unrest only last week over the
decision not to indict another white police officer who had shot dead a
young black man in Ferguson, Missouri.
'Black life matters'
On Thursday night in New York, protesters carried coffins across the
Brooklyn Bridge and marched in several groups through Manhattan,
carrying banners saying "Racism kills" and "This stops today".

"People are sick and tired of the systemic problems of racism in this
country," said one protester, Jason Pollock. "We are out here in the
streets to say that black life matters."

Police in riot gear told protesters staging sit-ins that they would face
arrest if they did not move along. Police arrested more than 80 people in
Wednesday's protests, though the demonstrations have been largely
peaceful.

Activists have called for another march in Washington on 13 December,
followed by a summit on civil rights.
Mr Garner, 43, was stopped on a street in New York on 17 July on
suspicion of selling loose, untaxed cigarettes.

Many politicians and activists criticised the grand jury's decision not to
bring charges against Mr Pantaleo.
Civil rights leader Reverend Al Sharpton has labelled the US grand jury
system "broken".
Attorney General Eric Holder has promised "an independent, thorough,
fair and expeditious" federal investigation into potential civil rights
violations in the case.

between police and communities.
New York Mayor Bill de Blasio has said policing in the city "has to change"
and announced a retraining plan.
Police Commissioner William J Bratton said about 22,000 officers will
complete a three-day course.
