St. Louis, November 26 (RHC)-- Protests are set to begin for a third day in a row in Ferguson, Missouri over a grand jury’s decision not to indict white police officer Darren Wilson for killing unarmed Black teenager Michael Brown.

Missouri Governor Jay Nixon deployed more than 2,000 National Guard troops to patrol the St. Louis area. Police said more than 40 people were arrested. Some property damage was reported but far less than Monday night when buildings were broken into and set on fire.

Protests against police brutality have erupted in more than 170 cities across the United States. In Los Angeles more than 100 people were arrested. From Oakland, California, to Providence, Rhode Island, protesters walked onto major highways and shut them down.

In New York, protesters blocked traffic across the city including at the the Lincoln Tunnel, West Side Highway, the Manhattan Bridge, Williamsburg Bridge and the Queens Midtown Tunnel. More than 1,000 protesters marched on the FDR drive, a major thoroughfare in New York City, at one point shutting down traffic in both directions.
