Death of Eric Garner
FILE - In this Dec. 9, 2014, file photo, Los Angeles Lakers' Carlos Boozer, wearing a T-shirt reading ""I Can't Breathe"  stands before team introductions for an NBA basketball game against the Sacramento Kings in Los Angeles. Eric Garner uttered those words six years ago, locked in a police chokehold. It became a rallying cry after his death for demonstrators across the country who protested the killings of African Americans by police. Until this week. George Floyd uttered the exact same words, while handcuffed and pinned at the neck under the knee of a white police officer, galvanizing the movement anew and prompting mass protests around the country.
