(CNN) -- It's become a nightly ritual. When dusk descends, so do they -- by the hundreds, in cities coast to coast. 

And the protests over police brutality after recent deaths of unarmed black men might only intensify. Organizers are calling this week a "Week of Outrage," culminating in large demonstrations planned for Saturday in New York and Washington. 

Eric Garner Jr., the son of the man who died after a New York police officer held him in a chokehold, said he was proud of how protesters are carrying on. 

"It made me feel proud because I don't have to share this moment by myself and my family," the son told CNN's "Erin Burnett OutFront." 

"It's amazing how everybody (is) doing this. My father and I appreciate it." 

But already this week, peaceful protests across the country have been marred by bouts of violence and crowds that disrupted thousands by shutting down freeways. 

Here's the latest on the unrest across the country: 

Protesters 'die in' 

At New York City's Grand Central Station, protesters Tuesday night re-enacted the chokehold that killed Eric Garner, laid on the ground and chanted. 

Demonstrator Dariel Ali, who's participated in New York protests for days, held a sign that said, "My only crime is being black." 

"There's a lot of racial profiling going on within the system," he said as protesters chanted behind him. 

It's been encouraging to see the ranks of protesters grow in recent days, he said. What's next? 

"We gain numbers," Ali said, "and we take the streets, like we always do."
