ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION)
STORY: Protesters were back on the streets of Washington, D.C., Friday to express their outrage over the outcomes of two cases involving the deaths of unarmed black men at the hands of white police officers.
On Wednesday, a New York grand jury cleared white police officer Daniel Pantaleo in the July chokehold death of 43-year-old father-of-six Eric Garner.
The decision was announced nine days after another grand jury declined to indict a white policeman for the killing in August of an unarmed black teenager Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, spurring rioting in the St. Louis suburb.
In Washington, they chanted "No justice. No peace. No racist police." They staged a "die-in," in a nod to the hours that Michael Brown's body lay in the street after he was killed by a white police officer in Ferguson, Missouri.
