On Tuesday evening, New York City continued to show solidarity with Ferguson. Following the announcement that officer Darren Wilson would not be indicted for the fatal shooting of Mike Brown, protests have erupted around the nation. ANIMAL’s Bucky Turco has been live-tweeting from the scene in NYC, where protesters are marching through the streets. It began in Union Square and snaked its way through several neighborhoods, eventually overtaking the roadway on the Manhattan Bridge and into Brooklyn. See the updates below.
