Bulls star Derrick Rose wore an "I Can't Breathe" T-shirt in pregame warm-ups prior to Saturday night's 112-102 loss to the Golden State Warriors.
The shirt refers to Eric Garner, the New York man who died in July after a police officer placed him in a chokehold while he was being arrested for selling loose, untaxed cigarettes.
A grand jury decided Wednesday that it would not indict the officer in Garner's death. A videotape recording of the arrest shows Garner gasping and saying, "I can't breathe,'' during the fatal encounter. Thousands have protested the grand jury decision around the country since the announcement of the decision.
