About 100 New Canaan High School students walked out of classes while school was still in session this afternoon to protest a decision by a New York grand jury not to indict a white New York City police officer who caused the death of a black man while subduing him last summer. With placards reading "Black Lives Matter" and shouting "I can't breathe!" -- the last words uttered by Eric Garner as he was subdued in a chokehold -- the students staged a "die in" in the parking lot outside the high school, and then a smaller group proceeded to march to Police Department headquarters.
