Protesters fill Times Square during Monday night's march after the announcement of the grand jury decision not to indict police officer Darren Wilson |
Thousands of people rallied late on Monday in U.S. cities including Los Angeles. Washington D.C, Seattle, and New York to passionately but peacefully protest a grand jury's decision not to indict a white police officer who killed a black 18-year-old in Ferguson, Missouri.
They led marches, waved signs, like 'Black lives matter' and shouted chants of ‘Hands Up! Don't Shoot,’ the slogan that has become a rallying cry in protests over police killings across the country.
