\"Protests<\/a>Dozens of protesters stage die-ins in famous New York City locations over the weekend.<\/h1>\n

In a bid to keep people involved in the issue of police violence against black men, dozens of protesters continued to demonstrate in New York City on Sunday evening, staging die-ins at several landmarks in the city.<\/p>\n

Protesting crowds, however, were modest in number throughout the weekend compared with the more charged protests of the first three nights.<\/p>\n

The demonstrations follow a grand jury’s declining to file charges against a white police officer for placing an unarmed black man in a fatal chokehold, a banned police maneuver.<\/p>\n

Dozens of protesters converged on Grand Central Terminal in midtown Manhattan, carrying signs that read “Police brutality is a deadly force,” “Against state tyranny” and “I can’t breathe.”<\/p>\n

The last of these slogans were the last words of 43-year-old Eric Garner, an asthmatic who died July 17 after being placed in a chokehold by Officer Daniel Pantaleo of the New York Police Department.<\/p>\n

Once inside the main concourse of the station, they staged a die-in, a form of civil disobedience where demonstrators lie down in a public space and remain still, as if dead.<\/p>\n

They continued their march through the 42nd street before entering and again holding a die-in at the H&M retail clothing store in Times Square, a famous square formed by the intersection of Seventh Avenue, 42nd Street and Broadway.<\/p>\n

Another group of demonstrators also laid down at the Pennsylvania Station, the city’s main intercity train station, and in a Macy’s department store near Union Square, about 2 miles south of Times Square.<\/p>\n

Demonstrations also erupted in other U.S. cities including Chicago, Philadelphia, Miami, Minneapolis and Seattle.<\/p>\n

More demonstrations are expected on Monday in New York City, with some protest groups reportedly planning a demonstration at the Barclays Center.<\/p>\n

Britain’s Prince William and his wife Kate, who are on a three-day visit to the city, are scheduled to watch the Brooklyn Nets-Cleveland Cavaliers basketball match at the center.<\/p>\nError, group does not exist! Check your syntax! (ID: 10)<\/span>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
