good evening. it has happened again. just nine days after the uproar in ferguson, a grand jury in new york city has refused to indict yet another white police officer said to have killed an unarmed black man. the incident, which involved an apparent choke hold was captured

on video and went viral. and tonight, protesters are in the streets. the president is weighing in. and abc's ron claiborne is on the story. >> reporter: angry crowds tonight in the streets of new york. protesting yet another controversial grand jury decision. >> i can't breathe! >> reporter: adding a new chant to the growing chorus of civil discontent across the country. now responding to the white police officer seen here, not facing charges for holding down an unarmed black man, eric garner, in an apparent choke hold that is said to have eventually killed him. protests breaking out in philadelphia, washington, d.c., atlanta and oakland, california. >> don't touch, [ bleep ]. do not touch, [ bleep ]. >> reporter: outraged sparked by this video from july. garner, who has been accused of selling cigarettes illegal little on new york's staten island, seen here being taken down by daniel pantaleo.

>> i can't breathe! i can't breathe! >> reporter: the officer, apparently using a banned choke hold on garner. the father of six later died. hitz death was ruled a home side by the medical examiner. but the grand jury choosing not to indict officer pantaleo. a decision that infuriated many. >> it was over a lousy cigarette that killed the man. >> anybody with eyes can see what happened. how in the hell did it go that way? >> reporter: in a statement released tonight, pantaleo said, "it is never my intention to harm anyone and i feel bad tab the death of mr. garner." garner's family, furious with the grand jury's decision and unmoved by the apology. >> hell no. the time for remorse would have been when my husband was yelling to breathe. >> reporter: the 22-person grand jury, composed of 13 or 14 white joo jurors and 9 or 10 black or hispanic jurors met for more

than four months and heard from more than 22 witnesses. >> as a legal matter, police officers are allowed to do things ordinary people aren't allowed to do. the question becomes, when do they cross the line? when was it no longer objectively reasonable to use the kind of force that they did? >> hands up, don't shoot! >> reporter: the outrage over this incident stems from one underlying worry. that in the eyes of the judicial system, black lives don't matter. >> black lives do not matter to the system. time and time again, you're seeing us being murdered and time and time again, you're seeing the police go free. it is screaming that the police are not being held accountable. >> you've heard in so many places, people of all backgrounds, utter the same basic phrase. they've said, black lives matter. and they said it because it had to be said. it's a phrase that should never have to be said. it should be self-evident.

>> reporter: and for many, today's decision echoed what happened in ferguson, missouri, when charges were not brought on darren wilson for shooting and killing michael brown. garner's confrontation with police was captured on video. it all unfolded in a matter of minutes. two plain clothes officers confronting garner who had been arrested more than 30 times, confronting him about selling those cigarettes, a misdemeanor. >> i'm minding by business. >> reporter: two officers move in and try to physically arrest him. garner seems to resist. within seconds, the 350-pound man is down. from the ground, garner cries out. >> i can't breathe! i can't breathe! i can't breathe! >> reporter: for several long minutes, garner lays on the ground, not moving. >> he's like, i'm not resisting, i'm not resisting and then it was, i can't breathe, and that's it. you see his arm get stiff and i knew.

>> reporter: paramedics arrive. one of them is seen speaking to garner. >> ems. come on. we're going to help you out. all right? >> reporter: but they appear to do nothing. finally, garner is placed on a stretcher and taken by ambulance to a local hospital. about an hour later, he is pronounced dead. ruled a homicide, the medical examine nerm's report did note that garner's health conditions, like asthma and heart disease also led to his death. >> the medical examiner found that it was a homicide, but all that really means is that he died at the hands of another. that doesn't necessarily mean that what the police officer did was a crime. >> reporter: the policeman's union said that sometimes force is necessary. at times, when officers are required to make an arrest, they must employ the use of force in order to get compliance. officer pantaleo maintains that he used an approved takedown

technique. after the incident, the nypd ordered a massive overhaul of the police force, including new training on restraint techniques and adopting body cameras. >> swipe the screen and now you can see what my camera is seeing. >> reporter: more and more police departments across the nation are employing these cameras. we rode along with the los angeles sheriff's department that showed us how they work. >> do you have your driver's license on you, sir? >> reporter: the department saying that cameras lead to more transparency, for both the officers and the alleged perpetrators. >> going to handcuff you for my safety, okay? being that you got a sir ring on you, okay? >> reporter: but all of those video cameras didn't stop the use of what became lethal force in the case of eric garner. >> time for us to make more progress than we've made. i'm not interested in talk. i'm interested in action. >> reporter: the u.s. justice department now announcing it will launch a civil rights investigation. >> there is still likely a very strong civil case that his

family can and will bring against the city. >> reporter: new york city mayor bill delaziede blasio addressed city, calling for calm. >> if you want to dignify the life of eric garner, you will not sully his name with violence or vandalism. >> reporter: more than a dozen arrested so far, but no riots, no fires. garner's step-father, outraged earlier in the evening -- later channelling his emotions to diffuse a situation near where eric garner died. >> keep the peace. let's keep the peace. >> reporter: but many are promising protests well into the week. fighting for justice they feel will come no time soon. >> the man was lynched. for the whole world to see.

and our system of justice is so corrupt that they couldn't even indict the officer that committed the murderer. >> reporter: for "nightline," i'm ron claiborne in new york. up next here on "nightline," something entirely different. savvy instagramers now using the app to sell clothing from their own closets, and you can do it, too. and later on "nightline" what's in the bag? could it be your next significant other? the curious new dating trend tonight. and the winner of this year's superstar...

most of us use instagram to

post pictures of our pets, our kids, our food, and, of course, ourselves. but now, it's becoming a sort of digital age consignment store. high fashion for low, louse prilow prices. and we're going to tell you how to get in on this and maybe even cash in, as well. here's abc's mara schiavocampo. >> reporter: it's an insta-shopping revolution. instagram, not just for selfies and food porn anymore. now, it's also heaven for fashionistas. your own personal shopping mall. the store frontses are hash tags. search insta shop, shop my closet or insta sale and you'll find over 5 million posts, receiving everything from des n designer shoes and bags to vintage couture. >> there's no more hard work. you don't have to lug bags across town to the resale shop. you can do everything from your own bedroom. snap a photo and post it right then and there. >> style blogger alyssa says

she's made $300 in just one month, just from clearing out items she no longer wanted. what got you doing this? >> i am constant it will on instagram, like i said, and i noticed people doing this. i thought, maybe i'm building up enough of a following here where i can do the same? and i thought, hey, let me give this a try and just in the first round i had some great sales, so, it's good. >> reporter: and women all across the country are cashing in. >> my name is bethany, i'm an instagram seller. i have 5,183 followers. >> reporter: bethany, from dallas, tells us her insta selling startled as a hobby in college. >> here's where the magic happens. >> reporter: now, she's turned it into a full-time business. >> this jacket. i think i bought it for maybe $5 and then i had it for sale for $30, $35. >> reporter: she buys items from shi thrift stores and resells them.

>> this is one of my favorite places in dallas to shop. these are going home with me. >> reporter: how much are they? >> these are 20. >> reporter: so you'll sell them for -- >> maybe 75? i need to clean them off a little bit. but that's so easy. people really do love vintage. so, i will probably get this one. >> reporter: she's cashed in $5,000 from instagram sales this month. >> i am here to pick up instagram stuff. >> reporter: insta selling also helps women like ashley. she had a small consignment shop in tennessee, but to boost sales, ashley took to instagram and customers came flocking. >> when we opened this in january, we knew we wanted to use online sales as a way to drive customers to our store, but we didn't want to use the traditional means we were using before. >> reporter: now, a quarter of her revenue is insta-based. >> it drives customers into our

store that are local that have never been in our store before. they'll come in to get one item that they've seen on instagram and usually end up buying several additional items. >> reporter: so, how does it all work? search a hash tag, like, insta sale, and go shopping. when you like an item, comment on it, letting the seller know you want it. the transaction happens through services like paypal. i decided to see for myself. could anyone take closet clutter and turn it into insta money? i invited alyssa over to shop my closet. what could i sell? >> i'm seeing some great faux fur right here. tell me about this. >> this was a target special. i have never worn it. >> exactly. that's why this is so great. we all have items sitting in our closet that we bought on impulse or thinking, this is awesome, and you never wear it. someone else will, believe it or not. i think this is actually the

perfect item. it's seasonal. it's perfect for fall right now. it would photograph well. >> reporter: what would you price this at? >> you have to keep in mind what you want to get out of the sale. i would probably price it at $35. see how it goes. >> reporter: okay. what else do you think might work? >> let's see. i really like this polka dot top. >> reporter: funny. i hate it. >> someone will love it out there. this is a great brand name. it's bcbg. it's sheer, sheer is always in. it has the plate detail. kind of a classic pattern. i think it appeals to a wide audience. a lot of people love it. so, i think it's perfect. i would probably post it, maybe $20, 25 bucks. >> reporter: but to do it right, cure rating is key. items need to stand out and be unique. >> this is the perfect example of something that may or may not sell. it's kind of just a plain t, it has the graphic on it. i think this is something that someone may be able to go into any local chain store and just

kind of purchase on their own for maybe even the same price. >> reporter: and taking a good photo is everything. >> really important to update the brightness up. i put most of the descriptions in the caption of the photo and i say a few key words. sheer polka dot blouse and i say the size. let's try 20 for this one. >> reporter: let's do it. >> let's post this one. >> reporter: first customer to comment wins the sale. >> another thing that's really important is kind of customer service. you still want your customers to finish it feeling like, hey, that was awesome and i want to buy something from alyssa again. >> reporter: the success of insta shopping has big brands taking notice. mark jacobs, michael kors, coach and bannan that republic are just some of the few that have turned to instagram to appeal to virtual window shoppers. in fact, 93% of big brand lgs n now have an instagram presence. that's up from 63% in july.

although you can't directly buy items from those big designers on instagram just yet, knee is a garcia says there's a huge business potential for brand retailers selling on instagram. >> instagram is changing the game in terms of fashion, because it's such a powerful visual tool. they're using instagram to further communicate their message, to inspire, to possibly get the customer to come and look at their product, to come and walk into a store. >> reporter: we reached out to instagram and they said it wasn't meant to be a commerce platform, but they are inspired by the ways individuals and organizations have grown their brands. as for my own wardrobe? well, i'm still waiting for my first insta sale. that polka dot shirt is looking for a happy closet. for "nightline," i'm mara see ca schiavocampo in new york. and coming up here on "nightline," the dating app, where you can't see anybody's faces. can this really work?
