NEW YORK — Thousands of protesters held a second night of marches across New York City to protest a grand jury’s decision not to indict a white police officer in the chokehold death of an unarmed black man.
Protesters gathered in downtown Manhattan’s Foley Square Thursday chanting “I can’t breathe” and “No justice, no peace” before some marched across the Brooklyn Bridge carrying replicas of coffins. Another group started in Harlem.
The marchers kept moving in pockets of several hundred, disrupting traffic throughout Manhattan.
Some gathered near the Holland Tunnel, the Manhattan Bridge and on the Westside Highway. One group targeted the Staten Island Ferry Terminal. Times Square also saw its share of protesters.
There have been arrests but the marchers have been mostly peaceful.
