NEW YORK — A large group of New York City Council members staged a “die-in” on the steps of City Hall Monday, before marching into the street and blocking traffic, all while chanting “I can’t breathe!” and “Black lives matter!”
The protest mimicked the chants and demonstrations that occurred in New York City and across the country this week, in light of a Staten Island grand jury’s decision not to indict the officer who put Eric Garner into a chokehold before the 43-year-old’s death.
“I am Eric Garner!” about 25 council members screamed in unison Monday, while bringing traffic on Broadway to a five-minute standstill. The council members, joined by a large group of clergy from assorted faiths, read from a long list of victims of police brutality across the country.
