On the second day of his scathing coverage of a grand jury's decision not to indict the cop who choked Eric Garner to death, Jon Stewart remained mostly serious, but some of the things people are saying about the case were too dumb and wrong not to mock. And by "people," I mean Rand Paul.

Thousands of protestors shut down swathes of downtown Manhattan and Brooklyn in the second night of protests sparked by a grand jury's decision not to indict a police officer who killed Eric Garner in a chokehold this summer.

In the wake of the announcement that Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson would not be indicted for shooting and killing Mike Brown, protestors across the country took to the streets in mass acts of civil disobedience, and in some cases, property damage.

There isn't enough ink to express our pain. Day after day, month after month, year after year, the pain of being black in America, and across the globe, is apparent. Yesterday I read the headlines and tweets that told me NYPD Officer Daniel Pantaleo, the cop that killed Eric Garner, would not be indicted. Daniel Pantaleo—say his name until it cannot be forgotten, until he's held responsible. A week and three days before that I heard news out of Ferguson, Missouri that Darren Wilson would not be indicted. That same day, hours before, I watched my beautiful daughter be born into this world. Being black is like that: valley, peak, valley.

Last night, as thousands protested in New York, Jon Stewart opened the Daily Show with a mostly serious monologue about the decision not to indict the police officer who killed Eric Garner. "I don't know," Stewart said at one point. "I honestly don't know what to say."

Thousands of Eric Garner protestors descended on midtown Manhattan Wednesday night, blocking streets and standing off with police while just blocks away, a star-studded lineup of celebrities blithely sang Christmas carols for a live NBC broadcast.

During a speech about a Staten Island grand jury's failure to indict NYPD officer Daniel Pantaleo in the chokehold death of Eric Garner, Bill de Blasio shared a crushing personal anecdote: Even the mayor of New York has to have "the talk" with his black son about the interactions he'll have with police.

Daniel Pantaleo, the Staten Island NYPD officer who killed Eric Garner with a chokehold in July, will not face charges for the killing, a grand jury reportedly decided today. Garner, who was asthmatic, pled with police about his inability to breathe several times during the struggle that led to his death.

According to an extended whinge from the New York Post's police sources, New York City protesters gained the upper hand over NYPD during demonstrations following the Darren Wilson announcement using the cutting edge of 2006 technology: Twitter and disposable cell phones.

Andrea Peyser, a troll who lives under a bridge and also an anger columnist at the New York Post, is very angry about the fact that the NYPD choked Eric Garner to death, then let his mom out of a traffic ticket. She's mad about the ticket part.

The deaths of Eric Garner, who was put in a chokehold by an NYPD officer in July, and Ronald Singleton, who died in custody four days prior, have now both been ruled homicides by the New York City Medical Examiner. Garner's death was ruled a homicide in the beginning of August.

Police said Sunday that Ramsey Orta, the 22-year-old who recorded brutal footage of NYPD putting Eric Garner in a chokehold, was arrested on weapons charges this weekend. He was picked up just blocks from where he recorded Garner's deadly arrest. Orta's wife claims police have been following him.

The New York City medical examiner ruled today that Eric Garner's death was a homicide by chokehold.

Staten Island police arrive at the scene of an alleged crime, where they find a middle-aged black man. He resists arrest, maybe, so they rough him up a bit. After a while, he complains that he's having difficulty breathing, but medical attention arrives too late, and he dies.
