Thousands Protest in DC, Boston, and New York Against Police Brutality
Today thousands across major cities gathered to march and protest against police brutality

Today thousands across major cities gathered to march and protest against police brutality.
For the most part protests were peaceful. Those who were unable to attend watched on social media the many shares of videos and pictures of people of all races coming together to march for a just cause.
Protests Against Police Brutality
The protests come in light of the recent black killings by police officers and no indictments.
Officer Darren Wilson shot and killed unarmed 18-year-old Michael Brown in Ferguson, MO. Michael Brown’s death sparked protests nationwide on the use of excessive force by police.
About a month later Eric Garner would be murdered. His death would be by a chokehold by officer Daniel Pantale.
A restraint that is banned by the NYPD, Garner’s last words were “I can’t breathe”. Tamir Rice is the latest to spark up anger as the 12-year-old was shot and killed on site by police officers in Cleveland for holding a toy gun.
With posters stating ‘Black lives matter’ and the ‘hands up don’t shoot’ phrase being shouted during the protest, it was evident that many want justice and most importantly, equality.
Protests were among the largest seen, with families of Trayvon Martin, Brown, Rice, and Garner rallying in the nation’s capital.
In Washington along with the families, Sharpton urged Congress to pass legislation that would allow federal prosecutors to take over cases involving police violence.
It is great to see thousands emerging together to protest for a just cause. Now the real work must begin to invoke change.
