Protesters have gathered for a second night in New York City after a grand jury voted not to indict the NYPD officer involved in the chokehold death of Eric Garner on Staten Island.
An estimated 10,000 demonstrators were at Foley Square, and later shut down the Brooklyn Bridge, the West Side Highway at Canal Street, and feared the Holland Tunnel would be shut as well.
Police arrested more than 83 protesters Wednesday night, but said the demonstrations were mostly peaceful. Seventy five were issued desk appearance tickets and released overnight. No officers were injured. There were no reports of major vandalism along the protest routes.

better for the news to keep busy with and focus on blacks and their mishagasim.
It’s not meshugas. THIS time they are 100% right. When an unarmed person says he can’t breathe you let go! Cuff him, arrest him, do what you gotta do, but don’t kill him. This was murder. Not planned murder, but murder nonetheless.
