Williams. Good evening. Im lester holt sitting in tonight for brian. It would seem to be the Justice System itself on trial in the aftermath of yesterdays grand jury decision in new york to not indict a policeman in the choking death of eric garner during his arrest. On the heels of an identical decision to the ferguson, missouri shooting of Michael Brown, emotions are running high. We can show you the picture of just a short time ago in Lower Manhattan as crowds once again fill the streets. Emotions are running high on both sides, those who believe the system was all but rigged to fail and those who think it worked exactly the way it was intended. Tonight, were learning about what the grand jury in the garner case had to work with to reach its decision. And while theres been no evidence in either case that the use of force by police was racially motivated, calls for Racial Justice grew louder today as the u. S. Department of justice launched its own investigation into the garner case.
