2nd Anniversary of Eric Garner's Death

It’s been two years since Eric Garner was killed in police custody. Garner died on July 17, 2014, after repeatedly saying “I can’t breathe” as NYPD officers pinned him down on a Staten Island street. His death sparked protests. On Sunday, Garner’s mother joined Al Sharpton and laid flowers on her son’s grave. Joined by the mothers of other men killed by police, she said: “As you see, we have mothers lined up behind us. It’s a sad club, but it’s a club that we’re all a part of. It’s an exclusive club. We don’t want any other members.”
