Michael Brown's Parents to Join Eric Garner March in New York City 
-------------------------------------------------------------------


 
Michael Brown's parents say they plan to march this weekend in New York
City to demand justice for Eric Garner. Garner died last month after
police in Staten Island placed him in a banned chokehold, then pinned
him to the sidewalk, while he repeatedly said he couldn't breathe. He
was accused of selling loose cigarettes. Thousands are expected to
attend Saturday's protest led by Rev. Al Sharpton. Garner's death is one
of several that have brought police tactics to the forefront in cities
across the country.
