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.

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.

The "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star was slammed by followers who felt that Jenner didn't really care about the situation at hand.
