![Protesters Stage Nationwide Marches In Wake Of Recent Grand Jury Decisions](https://web.archive.org/web/20141218145802im_/http://timedotcom.files.wordpress.com/2014/12/460430404.jpg?w=550)
Protest leaders are meeting with the Mayor on Friday.
New York City police are canceling or postponing their holiday parties as protests over the death of Eric Garner become almost a nightly occurrence.
DNAinfo New York, a local news source, reports that police precincts don’t want to risk taking officers off the streets as the protests continue across the city two weeks after a grand jury decided not to indict a police officer in Garner’s death.
At least two thirds of the precincts had canceled their festivities, which the police pay for themselves, according to DNAinfo. Some will be rescheduled for January — if the protests have subsided by then.
