GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. -- Protesters gathered in Grand Rapids Tuesday following a Missouri grand jury's decision not to indict Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson in the fatal shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown.
More than 200 people assembled in Rosa Parks Circle at about 7 p.m. Protesters called for all states to implement civilian police review boards and chanted things like "Hands up, don't shoot!" and "No justice, no peace, no racist police."
They also paused for a moment of silence for Brown.

The rally was put on by Black Lives Matter, an organization created by Anita Moore and Briana Urena Rabelo.
"We are hoping to gather so that people can gather and so that people can express and let go of some of that pent up anger that we all felt last night,"Moore said. "I know a lot of people, including myself, were expecting Darren Wilson to not be indicted, but it didn't make the blow any less."
Wilson, a white police officer, shot and killed the black teen Aug. 9, prompting massive protests in Ferguson and around the country.
"This incident sort of brings these issues to a head but this isn't an isolated incident--there's a lot of cases, even the past year, of specifically black folks of many genders of many orientations being harassed and being killed by law enforcement or by civilians acting as law enforcement," Rabelo said.
More protests and violence erupted in FergusonMonday night following the announcement that the grand jury did not indict Wilson.
