Thousands rally in New York over chokehold death

A protester wearing an "I Can't Breathe" face mask takes part in the "We Will Not Go Back" march and rally for Eric Garner in the Staten Island borough of New York August 23, 2014. Thousands of chanting but peaceful activists marched across Staten Island on Saturday to protest Garner's death, which occurred after New York City police put him in a banned chokehold as they were arresting him for selling loose cigarettes last month. Garner was heard 11 times on a video of the incident saying he couldn't breathe. [Photo/Agencies]
