Nearly 100 University of Wisconsin-Madison students held a vigil outside the Kohl Center toward the end of the Duke-Wisconsin basketball game to demonstrate solidarity with victims of police brutality, including Mike Brown, the unarmed teenager who was shot to death by police officer Darren Wilson in Ferguson, Missouri, and Eric Garner, who was choked to death by New York City police officer Daniel Pantaleo. A Staten Island grand jury ended the criminal case against Pantaleo Wedneday, kicking off mass protests in New York and around the country. The students gathered outside the UW basketball game held signs and stood in silence to pay their respects.
