Parts of Broad St. were closed last night after students and community members gathered in protest of a Grand Jury decision not to indict an NYC cop after he killed a man with a restraining maneuver.
Richmond Police public relations officer James Mercante said there were no arrests and no injuries, but RPD and VCU police worked together to redirect traffic away from the protesters.
Protestors participated in a “die-in” (top image) in which people laid on the ground in the middle of Broad St. and faked death in honor of those who had died from police violence.

Garner was approached by police officer Daniel Pantaleo, denied any wrongdoing, and was eventually put in a chokehold (or headlock, depending on who you ask). The headlock/chokehold move is banned by NYC police.
Most of the Garner incident was captured in the video below:
