NYC Protestors Hold 'I Can't Breathe' Vigil for George Floyd | LIVE | NowThis

‘I CAN’T BREATHE’ VIGIL: Protesters in New York City are gathering for an ‘I Can’t Breathe’ vigil and rally in response to events that have unfolded this week that have again highlighted the problems of racism and police brutality in the U.S. George Floyd died after being pinned to the ground by a Minneapolis police officer who would not remove his knee from Floyd’s neck, despite pleas from Floyd saying he could not breathe. His has drawn comparisons to the death of Eric Garner, who repeated ‘I can’t breathe’ eleven times in 2014 when a New York City police officer used a banned chokehold on him. Demonstrators are calling on city councilmen to pass a bill banning choke holds. They are also marching on to the office of the district attorney to push for the arrest of Amy Cooper for making a false call to the police. Cooper called 911 and said that a Black birdwatcher in Central Park was ‘threatening’ her. Video showed him keeping a distance from the woman and asking her to put her dog on a leash, per park rules. » Subscribe to NowThis: http://go.nowth.is/News_Subscribe » Sign up for our newsletter KnowThis to get the biggest stories of the day delivered straight to your inbox: https://go.nowth.is/KnowThis #GeorgeFloyd #Protest #BlackLivesMatter #ICantBreathe #News #NowThis #NowThisNews Connect with NowThis » Like us on Facebook: http://go.nowth.is/News_Facebook » Tweet us on Twitter: http://go.nowth.is/News_Twitter » Follow us on Instagram: http://go.nowth.is/News_Instagram » Find us on Snapchat Discover: http://go.nowth.is/News_Snapchat NowThis is your premier news outlet providing you with all the videos you need to stay up to date on all the latest in trending news.
