London: American teenager Michael Brown's lawyers have denounced the grand jury's decision, which refused to indict police officer Darren Wilson for shooting Brown, as "unfair."
A day after the grand jury observed that "no probable cause" exists to bring any charges against Wilson, Attorney Benjamin Crump termed the process "broken," reported the BBC.
The decision has sparked widespread protests across Ferguson, which is being dubbed the worse that the city has seen so far.
Thousands of people marched for a second night in Manhattan, gathering in Union Square before splitting into several smaller groups, chanting "No justice, No peace." Some held signs saying, "Jail killer cops" and "Justice for Mike Brown."
One group marched uptown to Times Square, meandering between lanes of traffic as police followed. The protesters, who seemed to grow in number as the night wore on, disrupted traffic on the FDR Drive and congregated at the entrances to the Williamsburg and Manhattan bridges and the Queens Midtown Tunnel.
Commissioner William Bratton said police were giving protesters "breathing room."
"As long as they remain non-violent, and as long as they don't engage in issues that cause fear or create vandalism, we will work with them to allow them to demonstrate," he said.
Several hundred people had gathered Tuesday afternoon near the 3rd Precinct police outpost to show solidarity with Brown. The driver called police soon after to report the incident, and police spokesman John Elder said the incident was under investigation.
About 200 protesters gathered on the state Capitol steps in St. Paul and marched without incident.
