People across the country reacted sharply to the decision by a grand jury not to indict a white Missouri police officer in the fatal shooting of an unarmed black teenager, with protesters taking to the streets in cities from Oakland to New York.
St. Louis County prosecutor Bob McCulloch announced the grand jury had chosen not to indict Officer Darren Wilson, who gunned down Michael Brown, 18, on a street in Ferguson on Aug. 9. The grand jury had options from first-degree murder to no charge at all.
In New York, protesters held up a poster reading "Black Lives Matter." In Oakland, about 100 demonstrators marched to the police department, local media reported.
"The racism in this acquittal is breathtaking. THIS MUST NOT STAND. We must stand up collectively. DEMAND JUSTICE," tweeted CODEPINK, a social justice, grassroots movement.
"My thoughts are with family of Michael Brown and the Ferguson community. I'm echoing their calls for peace / nonviolence," tweeted Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J.....

Ha haaaaa!!!
Leave it to NBC News to resurrect CodePinko.
9 whites 3 blacks.
But the blacks voted white so it was still racist.
Nobody but nobody wants to discuss the facts. It’s all about what the feral human lynch mob wants.
In fact, the last time anyone has heard from CodePinko was when they were wallowing in a ditch with Cindy Sheehan.
Look for the NG to be called up to help the police.
Looks like the Po-Po ain’t gonna play!
“Black Lives Matter”
Yes they do. Except to other black people. With the rate of homicides and abortions in the black community they’re doing a hell of a job of committing genocide on themselves.

“...Officer Darren Wilson, who gunned down Michael Brown, 18, on a street in Ferguson on Aug. 9.”
There is the impartiality of NBC News. Idiots.
I fear this good deed will not go unpunished. We need to pray for protection for these brave citizens.
NBC still flogging the poor weak innocent unarmed honeychile meme. Presstitutes all!
Accept the judgment of civilized jurors or accept the outcome of the reaction from law enforcement directed at the uncivilized reaction of those who refuse to abide by societies decision. If this was a situation that subscribed to warranted civil disobedience, I would side with the rioters, but no evidence has been presented that would lead me to side with the "rabble" in this case.
so was Michael Brown “a fleeing felon” or did he “charge the officer”?
RELEASE THE EVIDENCE:
Darren Wilson’s medical records
the dispatch recordings
the dash cam
the measurements from the officer’s car to the body
The vast majority of Americans know this was a just finding.
I thought the headline referred to the magazine.
Prayers for the grand jury. They will need it.
Gunned down? No bias there.
From what I read: Ferguson is 67% black; the grand jury was 75% white.
The troof must not stand.
> Dear God, we live in a nation comprised of morons.
They havent’t figured out that if you stop committing crimes the police don’t bother or shoot at you...
Good idea...
You got yer placce covered???
I have my bedroom windows cracked, wife has her cell phone charged, and her equalizer locked and cocked...Going to stay this way for a while...
I’m a lite sleeper anyway...I also just realized I need to go buy some more 00 buck...Dangit!!!
