Traffic on New York City bridges was reportedly shut down as demonstrators marched in traffic lanes over the Brooklyn, Manhattan and Triboro bridges as peaceful protests occurred in 90 cities across the U.S.
Thousands of people rallied late on Monday in cities including Los Angeles and Washington, D.C., 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 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....

Agreed. They're coordinated, and they're forcing an escalation in the response. That's not peaceful.
Worcester, MA, had a demonstration, which suggests it reached down to third-tier cities. And, of course, college towns.
And exactly how would you stop the media from making their reports? A Constitutional amendment?
I heard on the radio on my way home from work that it wasn’t true that Wilson didn’t know about the robbery and that it was a media falsehood. Radio guy’s words not mine. And then the whole blown orbital socket thing was’nt true. Plus the media seemed to relay accounts from witnesses that said Brown was surrendering with hands up, but now after grand jury testimony it comes out there are African-American witnesses that corroborate what Wilson said. So yeah, in a perfect world the media should be able to report on events but wait until details are fact-checked, so they can present both sides of a story before getting a segment of our society riled up and then refusing to listen to the truth when it comes out. Remember Sandy Hook and how things were so screwed up in the beginning? I’m not saying make an amendment but they should be called out and embarrassed enough to start doing more factual reporting. Easier said than done in a 24-hour news cycle though huh?
Fair enough.
She must've felt like she was back in Berkeley in the 60's. What a rush for her!
Amazing the number of Americans who are completely full of sh*t.
Run them over.
He popped off last night for a quick inflammatory statement, right around the time Zer0 had to stick his nose in it.
waved signs and shouted chants of ‘Hands Up! Don’t Shoot
The signs should’ve read:
Pants up! Don’t loot!
You mean someone in the White House would coordinate these protests against America?
Pray America is waking
And nothing is happening in America’s other 29,910 towns and cities.
Now we know that the bulk of the liberal scum live in only 90 American cities.
Maybe there is something to the the saying that there is an inverse proportion to melanine and intellegence.
Low information voters/liberals block public access and commerce in some of largest of our cities, yet the TEA Party protested on the Mall in D.C. and didn’t block one car.
Satan’s children will identify themselves with there actions.
I agree with your thoughts here.
I’m finding it difficult to come up with a good negative response...
