Washington, Nov 26 (ANI): More than a thousand demonstrators marched in the U.S. capital to protest the decision by a grand jury in Ferguson, Missouri not to indict the white police officer who shot and killed an unarmed black teenager. Protesters held signs saying "No justice, no peace" and chanted "Hands up, don't shoot" as they walked several blocks in the cold temperatures through downtown Washington D.C on Tuesday.
