African-American Congressional staffers conducted a planned walkout and protest at the U.S. Capitol on Thursday to express solidarity with critics of the grand jury decisions in the Eric Garner and Michael Brown cases, respectively.
As The Daily Beast previewed, staffers walked out of their offices to express disagreement with the grand juries decisions not to indict the police officers involved in either case. Below are pictures of the walkout.
