Die-in protests continue

Thousands of protesters march through Manhattan for another night of demonstrations against police violence.br br Protests have been ongoing since a grand jury decided earlier this week not to indict New York police officer Daniel Pantaleo in the choking death of unarmed black man Eric Garner last July.br br Friday night's protests were heated at times with police pushing marchers back onto the sidewalks, although generally police have been unobstructive to demonstrators.br br Elsewhere scores of people held die-in demonstrations in which they lay on the floor ... here a group converged in Macy's department store. Then again in city's bustling Grand Central Station.br br Protesters say the issue is of the utmost importance.br br (SOUNDBITE) (English) FRANCIS BRATHWAITE, PROTESTER, SAYING:br br "With our voices being heard and us being united, we believe we can make a difference in letting these people know that this has to stop. It has to stop today. No more police brutality.
