Protesters stage a die-in on the streets of US

Holland Protesters stage a die in on Thursday

The trend that has caused a lot of social media traffic over the past few days has been as a result of the protesters in NewYork, Oakland and other majo cities who took to the street to voice out on the recent police shooting and killing of unarmed innocent black Americans. This act has been seen as racial attack on the black and something has to be done to end it.
A 43-year-old asthmatic died in July. His final words were multiple please of "I can't breathe" as New York Police Officer Nick Palanteo had him in a chokehold. Michael Brown died in August and the officer who shot him to death on a Ferguson street, Darren Wilson, was not indicted last week, prompting a string of violent and peaceful protests in many U.S. cities.
Wednesday night's demonstrations in New York, Oakland, San Francisco and Washington, D.C., caused disruptions and delays as protesters took over streets, highways and bridges, but they were largely peaceful. Source: Mashable
