Demonstrators called for a Black Friday boycott this week to protest a Missouri grand jury's decision not to indict Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson in the shooting death of Michael Brown.


Protests began small on Friday, with a few dozen people at different stores in Missouri, and 200 at the Magnificent Mile in Chicago. But they began to escalate throughout the day, as demonstrators tried to get attention from holiday shoppers flocking to stores for sales. Since Monday's decision, protests have taken place in Ferguson and dozens of cities across the United States.
