TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Crowds have gathered across the US to protest against Monday's decision not to charge a police officer over the killing of black teen Michael Brown, BBC News reported.
Demonstrations from New York to Seattle were mostly peaceful, with protesters chanting and waving placards.
In and around the St Louis suburb of Ferguson, scene of major riots on Monday, 2,200 National Guard troops were deployed to stop further unrest.
Meanwhile, the officer who shot Mr Brown said he had a "clean conscience".
Darren Wilson shot Mr Brown, 18, on 9 August in Ferguson, Missouri, sparking weeks of unrest.
Many in Ferguson's predominantly African-American community had called for the officer to be charged with murder, but the grand jury's decision, announced late on Monday, means the police officer will not face state criminal charges over the shooting.
Lawyers for Mr Brown's family have denounced the grand jury's decision as "unfair".
