April 30, 2014: Dontre Hamilton (Milwaukee)
Dontre Hamilton, 31, was fatally shot 14 times by a police officer in a Milwaukee park. The officer was responding to a call from employees at a nearby Starbucks alleging that Hamilton, who had been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, was disturbing the peace.
The officers who arrived first determined that Hamilton wasn't doing anything illegal. Officer Christopher Manney showed up later and, after trying to pat Hamilton down, engaged in a struggle with him that led to the shooting. Manney was not charged.
Hamilton's mother, Maria Hamilton, is organizing a march in Washington, D.C., on May 9 to call for justice.
July 17, 2014: Eric Garner (New York)

The officer who put Garner in the chokehold, Daniel Pantaleo, was not charged.
Garner's death sparked peaceful protests across the nation, with demonstrators adopting the phrase "I Can't Breathe" as a symbol and slogan of protest.

On March 4, the Department of Justice announced that it too would not charge Wilson for the shooting after an exhaustive investigation.
