I have friends and family who decided to jump on the MARC train and head to Washington, DC to protest against the recent police killings that resulted from the tragedies of Ferguson, New York City and many urban cities.
Protesters screaming “I Can’t Breathe” filter the streets of Freedom Plaza and of course the cameras are in the best position to capture it all:
Protesters in major cities, including New York City and Washington D.C., plan marches for Saturday afternoon.
Eric Garner Jr., the son of the man who died after a New York police officer held him in what appeared to be a chokehold, said he was proud of the protests.
“It’s amazing how everybody (is) doing this. My father and I appreciate it,” the son told CNN’s “Erin Burnett OutFront.”
