Reporter the 22person grand jury, composed of 13 or 14 white joo jurors and 9 or 10 black or hispanic jurors met for more than four months and heard from more than 22 witnesses. As a legal matter, Police Officers are allowed to do things ordinary people arent allowed to do. The question becomes, when do they cross the line . When was it no longer objectively reasonable to use the kind of force that they did . Hands up, dont shoot reporter the outrage over this incident stems from one underlying worry. That in the eyes of the judicial system, black lives dont matter. Black lives do not matter to the system. Time and time again, youre seeing us being murdered and time and time again, youre seeing the police go free. It is screaming that the police are not being held accountable. Youve heard in so many places, people of all backgrounds, utter the same basic phrase. Theyve said, black lives matter. And they said it because it had to be said. Its a phrase that should never have to be said. It should be selfevident. Reporter and for many, todays decision echoed what happened in ferguson, missouri, when charges were not brought on Darren Wilson for shooting and killing michael brown. Garners confrontation with police was captured on video. It all unfolded in a matter of minutes. Two plain clothes officers confronting garner who had been arrested more than 30 times, confronting him about selling those cigarettes, a misdemeanor. Im minding by business. Reporter two officers move in and try to physically arrest him. Garner seems to resist. Within seconds, the 350pound man is down. From the ground, garner cries out. I cant breathe i cant breathe i cant breathe reporter for several long minutes, garner lays on the ground, not moving.

Ems. Come on. Were going to help you out. All right . Reporter but they appear to do nothing. Finally, garner is placed on a stretcher and taken by ambulance to a local hospital. About an hour later, he is pronounced dead. Ruled a homicide, the medical examine nerms report did note that garners health conditions, like asthma and Heart Disease also led to his death. The medical examiner found that it was a homicide, but all that really means is that he died at the hands of another. That doesnt necessarily mean that what the Police Officer did was a crime. Reporter the policemans union said that sometimes force is necessary. At times, when officers are required to make an arrest, they must employ the use of force in order to get compliance. Officer pantaleo maintains that he used an approved takedown technique. After the incident, the nypd ordered a massive overhaul of the police force, including new training on restraint techniques and adopting body cameras.

We rode along with the Los Angeles Sheriffs Department that showed us how they work. Do you have your drivers license on you, sir . Reporter the department saying that cameras lead to more transparency, for both the officers and the alleged perpetrators. Going to handcuff you for my safety, okay . Being that you got a sir ring on you, okay . Reporter but all of those video cameras didnt stop the use of what became lethal force in the case of eric garner.

Reporter but many are promising protests well into the week. Fighting for justice they feel will come no time soon. The man was lynched. For the whole world to see.

Style blogger alyssa says shes made 300 in just one month, just from clearing out items she no longer wanted. What got you doing this . I am constant it will on instagram, like i said, and i noticed people doing this. I thought, maybe im building up enough of a following here where i can do the same . And i thought, hey, let me give this a try and just in the first round i had some great sales, so, its good. Reporter and women all across the country are cashing in. My name is bethany, im an instagram seller. I have 5,183 followers. Reporter bethany, from dallas, tells us her insta selling startled as a hobby in college. Heres where the magic happens. Reporter now, shes turned it into a fulltime business. This jacket. I think i bought it for maybe 5 and then i had it for sale for 30, 35. Reporter she buys items from shi Thrift Stores and resells them. This is one of my Favorite Places in dallas to shop. These are going home with me. Reporter how much are they . These are 20. Reporter so youll sell them for maybe 75 . I need to clean them off a little bit. But thats so easy. People really do love vintage. So, i will probably get this one. Reporter shes cashed in 5,000 from instagram sales this month. I am here to pick up instagram stuff. Reporter insta selling also helps women like ashley. She had a small Consignment Shop in tennessee, but to boost sales, ashley took to instagram and customers came flocking. When we opened this in january, we knew we wanted to use online sales as a way to drive customers to our store, but we didnt want to use the traditional means we were using before. Reporter now, a quarter of her revenue is instabased. It drives customers into our store that are local that have never been in our store before. Theyll come in to get one item that theyve seen on instagram and usually end up buying several additional items. Reporter so, how does it all work . Search a hash tag, like, insta sale, and go shopping. When you like an item, comment on it, letting the seller know you want it. The transaction happens through Services Like paypal. I decided to see for myself. Could anyone take closet clutter and turn it into insta money . I invited alyssa over to shop my closet. What could i sell . Im seeing some great faux fur right here. Tell me about this. This was a target special. I have never worn it. Exactly. Thats why this is so great. We all have items sitting in our closet that we bought on impulse or thinking, this is awesome, and you never wear it. Someone else will, believe it or not. I think this is actually the perfect item. Its seasonal. Its perfect for fall right now. It would photograph well. Reporter what would you price this at . You have to keep in mind what you want to get out of the sale. I would probably price it at 35. See how it goes. Reporter okay. What else do you think might work . Lets see. I really like this polka dot top. Reporter funny. I hate it. Someone will love it out there. This is a great brand name. Its bcbg. Its sheer, sheer is always in. It has the plate detail. Kind of a classic pattern. I think it appeals to a wide audience. A lot of people love it. So, i think its perfect. I would probably post it, maybe 20, 25 bucks. Reporter but to do it right, cure rating is key. Items need to stand out and be unique. This is the perfect example of something that may or may not sell. Its kind of just a plain t, it has the graphic on it. I think this is something that someone may be able to go into any local chain store and just kind of purchase on their own for maybe even the same price. Reporter and taking a good photo is everything. Really important to update the brightness up. I put most of the descriptions in the caption of the photo and i say a few key words. Sheer polka dot blouse and i say the size. Lets try 20 for this one. Reporter lets do it. Lets post this one. Reporter first customer to comment wins the sale. Another thing thats really important is kind of customer service. You still want your customers to finish it feeling like, hey, that was awesome and i want to buy something from alyssa again. Reporter the success of insta shopping has big Brands Taking notice. Mark jacobs, michael kors, coach and bannan that republic are just some of the few that have turned to instagram to appeal to virtual window shoppers. In fact, 93 of big brand lgs n now have an instagram presence. Thats up from 63 in july. Although you cant directly buy items from those big designers on instagram just yet, knee is a garcia says theres a huge business potential for brand retailers selling on instagram. Instagram is changing the game in terms of fashion, because its such a powerful visual tool. Theyre using instagram to further communicate their message, to inspire, to possibly get the customer to come and look at their product, to come and walk into a store. Reporter we reached out to instagram and they said it wasnt meant to be a commerce platform, but they are inspired by the ways individuals and organizations have grown their brands. As for my own wardrobe . Well, im still waiting for my first insta sale. That polka dot shirt is looking for a happy closet. For nightline, im mara see ca schiavocampo in new york.

Reporter one new dating app is trying to get beyond the sexy selfie. This is love flutter. Dubbed the antitinder, love flutter users match with one another based on 140character blurbs before their photos are revealed. At special events, they hide behind paper bags. I think its a good way of making the real you shine. Im a nice person. Reporter Brandon Harris is new to new york and looking to meet people. If you meet somebody and they have a really good personality, you click. They automatically become more attractive. Reporter amanda met her last boyfriend through traditional speed dating and thought shed give paper backs a go this time. I wanted to express myself as a unicorn because im unique and mystical.
