Members of the New York City Council perform a die-in demonstration on the steps of City Hall during a spontaneous protest in response to police violence in New York December 8, 2014. Protesters in New York and other cities have staged demonstrations every day since a grand jury's decision on Wednesday not to bring criminal charges against Daniel Pantaleo, the white police officer whose chokehold contributed to the death of Eric Garner, a black 43-year-old father of six, in New York in July. The killings of Garner in New York and Michael Brown, an unarmed black teen, in Ferguson, Missouri, have highlighted the strained relations between police and African-Americans and rekindled a national debate over race relations in the United States.
