It was a 'die-in' for about 100 Greenwich High School students who gathered in the courtyard of the Hillside Road campus Monday morning to protest what they said is "an undeniable pattern of racism and inequality in law enforcement in America." The "GHS Can't Breathe' protest was organized over the weekend on Facebook in response to grand juries not filing criminal indictments against Ferguson, MO Police Officer Darren Wilson who fatally shot Michael Brown, and against New York City Police Officer Daniel Pantaleo who used a choke hold on Eric Garner on Staten Island.
