Chicago Bulls's Derrick Rose Wears 'I Can't Breathe' T-Shirt During Warm-Ups Before Warriors And Bulls Game; Protests Continue For Eric Garner; Kylie Jenner Gets Slammed For Showing Her Support

Chicago Bulls player Derrick Rose made a bold statement when he rocked an "I Can't Breathe" shirt during Saturday, Dec. 6's warm-up against the Golden State Warriors.

According to Sports Illustrated, the black shirt was in support of Eric Garner, the African-American man who died when placed in a chokehold by a white police officer in NYC over the summer.

Protests have been happening across the country ever since another jury reached the decision not to indict NYPD Officer Daniel Pantaleo for causing Garner's death. Though many officers were involved in the struggle with Garner, Pantaleo was the officer who put a chokehold on Garner while trying to arrest him for selling untaxed cigarettes. "I can't breathe" were the words you could hear Garner clearly yelling during the time of his arrest. Garner's death was ruled a homicide by the medical examiner's office, sending out chaos from protesters after a jury saw different.

There has also been more protests from the world of sports, including players from the St. Louis Rams. Stedman Bailey, Tavon Austin, Jared Cook, Chris Givens and Kenny Britt protested before a game with their "Hands Up, Don't Shoot" gesture that has been seen in Ferguson, Missouri, and across the nation for months now, and in recent weeks after a grand jury decided not to indict Officer Darren Wilson after he shot unarmed, 18-year-old Michael Brown in August.
One celebrity who decided to show support of Eric Garner was Kylie Jenner. The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star was slammed by followers who felt that Jenner didn't really care about the situation at hand. When Jenner posted the photo statement below and captioned it, "RIP Eric Garner," she found herself in an Instagram fire as people criticized her over the post:

reina_so_bossylike @rxse.of.sharon: "how do u know she's doing it because of a trend? Her sisters married to a black man her friends are black.what if she's doing because she's thinking what if her friends were in this situation. And where has beyonce posted anything about garner or said anything. Jay z or kanye?"

yaaaaasgaga @rxse.of.sharon: "woah. So someone's not allowed to show support? So even giving to a charity is wrong because we can't comprehend less fortunate people's pain. I don't think so. Support is support."
