Demonstrators incensed by the grand jury verdict that cleared the white police officer who killed African-American teenager Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, took to the streets of 170 cities in 37 U.S. states for a second night of protests.
Protesters swept through the streets of New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and Washington, D.C., where they shouted “Justice” in front of the White House.
Atlanta, Boston, Philadelphia, Oakland and Seattle had some of the largest protests, which, according to police, were mainly peaceful except for a few isolated incidents and arrests.
Large cities across the United States have been on alert for possible disturbances since Monday night, when the grand jury ruled out filing charges against Officer Darren Wilson on the grounds that there was not enough evidence to indict him.
The 28-year-old Wilson fired several shots at the 18-year-old unarmed Brown on Aug. 9.
The shooting sparked a wave of riots, looting and destruction, with businesses being torched, while protesters blocked roads and bridges in major U.S. cities.
More than 2,000 National Guard troops were deployed in Ferguson, where 80 people were arrested on Monday for looting and setting fire to vehicles and shops.
Atlanta police reported that 21 arrests were made on Monday. A few more individuals were taken into custody in New York’s iconic Times Square when they allegedly hurled paint and other objects at police.
Demonstrators carried placards with slogans such as “Do not shoot” and “Police Brutality Must Stop.”
“No justice, no peace,” a 19-year-old protester told Efe, while another 25-year-old said he did not know Brown personally, but he was sure that he was a good man.

They’re trying to start a race war; pure and simple.
If they can cause enough chaos, it would allow “O” to proclaim “martial law” .. and suspend elections.
PLEASE DON’T FALL FOR IT. CALL OUT THE MEDIA - EMAIL, CALL, ETC. - DON’T ALLOW THE LEFT’S “VOICE” DISTORT AND TRUTH.
Good Point! The only “bright” spot in all of this, is the incoming Hispanic gang bangers will take the black gang bangers out in short order, soon as they get organized.
They’re just trying to pump themselves up to appear larger than they are.
Kinda like a toad trying to intimidate a snake.
I live in a very mixed area. I was out today and black and white folks seemed to be min rather upbeat and good moods.
Mike Brown stuff is overhyped by the media and the race pimps of the political left.
I noticed that Monday night in Ferguson, something was missing that was on the streets in the earlier “protests”.
The family types, non violent black people didn’t participate. There were far fewer crowds because many of those people knew there would be no peaceful protests.
Al Sharpton wasn’t hangin’ around either, even though he fanned those flames.
I am starting to wonder if SOME of the rioting isn’t about insurance fraud. What better way to update your property than to get the insurance company to rebuild it from the ground up. And to pay wages while doing it — all hiding behind the mob riots.
"agitprop" - quite true !
Obama instructed the leaders of the Ferguson protest to : "Stay the Course" in a clandestine meeting on 11/5/14.
He politicized the Ferguson protest.
Eric Holder sent the Dept of "JUST-US",and its' Community Resources Services, sent 50 agents into Ferguson as part of the 'investigation'(?)
You remember the CRS unit from Martin Vs. Zimmerman whereby the CRS encouraged ,facilitated, and arrainged transport of the "Dream Defenders" protestors,..right ?
The "Just-US" Dept. was upset that the local police had released the security film of the Michael Brown strong-arm robbery of the Swisher Sweets at the time of their arrival.
He politicized the Ferguson protest by controlling the language and events that led up to the Brown Shooting.
Now there are supposed spontaneous protests across the country, alledgedly organized by OFA(Organizing For America) a political arm of the Obama political machine.
He politicized the Ferguson protest.
The crowds that he instructed to "Stay The Course" have become unruly, trashing ,burning stores owned by minorities, confronting, throwing bottles and rocks at police .
The complicit media of NBCBSABCNN have returned to become the news, rather than report it; funny, how when the media had left this summer,an uncertain peace returned to Ferguson.
He along with the assistance of the complicit media politicized the Ferguson protest.
And now he feigns concern over the Ferguson protests when they are in fact :" Staying The Course".
Al Sharpton said he’s a Presidential adviser
Those are bad questions that bad racist/nativist/whatever-else-people would ask! You don’t understand the plight of peoples of color whatsoever! Your perspective doesn’t count! Havent you learned that yet!? Back to Common Core for you! You need to be re-educated!
Several = Just enough to drop a demonic, enraged, 300-pound, onrushing animal.
I hope the bunks in the reeducation camp are comfy.
My guess is pretty much - yes.
Here’s a story...I once thought I’d take up raising rabbits. I studied the cage construction, the materials and how to place and maintain them. Square wire grid on the bottom to let the rabbit droppings fall, rain protection, etc. I also got the very bright idea to build a little hutch with a hard bottom and upper shelf that would allow mama rabbit to sit and then have her babies inside. Guess what happened?
Mama didn’t give a crap about the babies, she let ‘government’ take care of them. In fact, she took to taking all her shits right there inside the nursery.
It is thusly so with Ferguson and any other urban/semi-urban enclave in this country. Somebody else has to take care of it, provide, maintain and perpetuate. It isn’t their problem - they are only out for the biggest score that they can get in the confusion.
Rabbits.
Here is the problem they ought to be working on:

Was this before they threw paint and other objects at cops, or after?
No flat screen TV no peace.
translation: “Politically ginned up outrage over Ferguson verdict spreads to 170 cities”
The media is trying to pump this as if it were some kind of massive nationwide disruption.
Its not, at best its a disruption in a few neighborhoods of a few cities. I saw some clown on the news this morning claiming that they had every major highway in the nation shout down. My mail arrived on time this morning. The garbageman picked up my trash this morning. When I ran into town this morning, trucks were unloading goods at all the stores.
It’s just more OWS political agitating, rich against poor.
Groups of 100 or so paid protesters and looters.
Planned by the democrat party just like that “occupy” nonsense.
Imagine what this country would look like if the democrats had all 3 branches of gov’t again. They lost their chance when the people woke up in 2010 & 2012 and stopped this from spreading.
First it was Saint Skittles.
Now it’s Saint Michael...
