Protesters gathered in New York City and around the United States to rally against police brutality and a rash of officers killing unarmed black men. Organizers spread the message on social media using the #ShutDownA14 hashtag. Tuesday’s nationwide event was organized by the Stop Mass Incarceration Network. The group is demanding that “the murder of Black and Brown people by the police MUST STOP”; calling for “justice for all the victims of brutal, murdering police”; asking the court system to “indict, convict and send killer cops to jail” because “the whole damn system is guilty as hell”; and to “stop the repression targeting the protests” by dropping all charges against protesters. http://rt.com/usa/249713-protest-brutality-brooklyn/
