More than 1,000 people protest outside U.S. embassy in London over Michael Brown shooting


Over 1,000 people came out to protest outside the U.S. embassy in London last night, with some holding 'jail racist cops' placards following the decision not to prosecute the American officer who shot dead black teenager Michael Brown.

Although the protest in London passed off peacefully and without trouble.
 
Police confirmed no arrests were made, despite the crowd being so large that it spilled out of a designated area in Grosvenor Square and lined up against the fence of the embassy.
 
Many of the protesters held placards which read 'jail racist cops' and 'black lives matter', while others carried candles.
