LAS VEGAS Ramsey Orta says hell wake up crying sometimes, and he wont know why.

A few days will pass, and suddenly hell remember the dream. The one where hes on that block in Staten Island, on that cool July day, filming a police officer putting his friend Eric Garner into a chokehold.

Only this time, Orta feels an arm wrap around his own neck, squeezing tighter and tighter. Until he cant breathe.

And then it just goes all black, Orta said.

There are other dreams too: the one where hes running from the cops, and the one where somebody in a hoodie walks up to him in a park and shoots him.

Pretty much all my dreams are messed up, he said. I dont remember the last time I had a nice dream.
