Demonstrators storm the Macy's on 34th Street in New York on Friday to protest the Staten Island, New York grand jury's decision not to indict a police officer involved in the chokehold death of Eric Garner in July.

More than 100 demonstrators lapped Manhattan's Columbus Circle off Central Park, then held a die-in at a nearby Apple store, NPR's Will Huntsbury reports.

Protests also continued across the country, with demonstrators blocking a major causeway in Miami, marching from Yale Law School in Connecticut to a nearby courthouse, and blocking downtown streets in Providence, R.I.
