News for wednesday, november 26th, 2014. Good morning. Good to be with you. Im annemarie green. It was a second night of protests and violence in ferguson, missouri, and the anger over the grand jurys decision not to indict the white Police Officer who killed Michael Brown spread across the country. Demonstrators in ferguson clashed with police who responded with pepper spray. They smashed the windows of an Auto Parts Store and threw some sort of explosive device inside, but last nights trouble was not as severe as the destruction monday. Meanwhile the man at the center of the controversy, officer Darren Wilson, told abc news about his confrontation with brown. He disputed some eyewitnesss who said brown put his hands up. That would be uncorrect incorrect. No way . No way. Susan mcginnis is in ferguson. Susan, good morning. Annemarie, good morning. It was a very different night here in ferguson than just 24 hours ago. Protesters did take to the streets here, but they appear to number more in the hundreds than in the thousands. There were only about half the arrests that we saw last night. Still, several dozen happened here. Streets are much calmer and thats thanks to a much larger police and National Guard presence. Even so, its still very clear people in ferguson and people from elsewhere visiting her remain frustrated and angry with that grand jury decision. Protesters faced off against police, standing steps away from officers in full riot gear. But the relative calm of the night was interrupted by violence yet again. The tension led to looting. A lone Police Vehicle was attacked and set on fire. Authorities rushed into the crowd and released tear gas. Compared to one night ago, the National Guard is a larger and much more visible presence here tonight. Protesters are being ordered to disperse or face arrest. The threats did little to ease the overwhelming sense of injustice expressed by some demonstrators. Michael brown was killed in cold blood, a teenager, and nothing was done. Following mondays grand jury announcement, officer wilson broke his silence. In an interview with abcs george stephanopoulos, he described a series of shots on the ground after a foot chase and an initial altercation in his car. He does that about 8 to 10 feet, he leans forward and looks like hes going to attack me. I looked down the barrel of my gun as i fired it and thats where it went. Right over the top of his head. Yes. Prosecutors presented their case to the grand jury. Our first year law student could have be done a better job of crossexamination of a Police Officer in the unarmed shooting. Its troubling to the family. Theres also a federal investigation into the police force here to try to determine whether anyone here engages or engaged in racial profiling or possible excessive use of force. Again, annemarie, protesters did turn out in the hundreds, not thousands. Susan mcginnis in ferguson. Thank you, susan. Anger over the grand jury decision isnt just being felt in ferguson. Its being felt nationwide. A group of about 350 demonstrators set fires and vandalized businesses and police cars in oakland. For a second straight night president obama urged people to vent their anger peacefully. For the overwhelming majority of people who just feel frustrated and pained because they get a sense that maybe some communities arent treated fairly or some individuals arent seen as worthy as others, i understand that. Don champion is here in new york with more on the nations reaction to the unrest in ferguson. Good morning, don. Reporter good morning, annemarie. Some of the demonstrations were peaceful, others tense, but some across the country had the goal of disrupting traffic in order to have their voices heard. Demonstrations in los angeles that began during the day lasted into the night. A group of several hundred demonstrators marched on lapd headquarters with Police Officers watching their every move. Tensions were raised when a group of protesters surrounded a police car while blocking off a freeway entrance ramp. It was a scene that was remotped from coast to coast. Demonstrators taking over highways in dallas. St. Louis and atlanta where police say a small group of protesters caused damage to buildings after breaking off from a larger peaceful demonstration. To have to deal with the issues on the streets of the remainder of the night and at any time that any group wants to come in and violate the law and create a negative situation for our city. Reporter in Denver Police used smoke and pepper spray against a group of demonstrators gathered on a bridge. I understand were on the bridge, but its peaceful. We have this right. We have our liberties. We should still have our liberties still intact. This is what we have. This is what were met with. Reporter in new york city, protesters blocked traffic and times square and on the fdr drive and two bridges, and while some were arrested, they were willing to give protesters breathing room. Theyre angered in what they say is an inequality of the system of justice. Its not an overt racism. Its a structure that disproportionately affects young black and women. Reporter there are rallies planned across the country today. Theres a call for civil rights activists to boycott black friday. Annemarie . Thank you, don. A frightening scene during a protest near Police Headquarters in minneapolis. After protesters attacked a car, the driver accelerates dragging a protester along the pavement.

Many tried to get a jump on the weather by leaving a day early. Moderate to heavy rain and snow is expected from washington to boston. As the storm approached, airlines began canceling flights. This morning so far, 222 flights have been canceled. Major airlines dropped their Ticket Exchange fees for passengers in the northeast. Meteorologist eric fisher of our boston station wbz is following the fastmoving storm. Weve been talking about it for a couple of days, and now its a storm. Its a quick moving one but impacting us right through the holiday, and its changing plans, and weve seen that already. So moving up the east coast as we head through the morning, by the time we get toward 9 00 a. M. On wednesday, were looking at heavy snow west of i95. That will be stretching p to the suburbs outside of new york city. East of i95 youve got heavy rainfall and wind. And, of course, its sloppy and quite a bit of impact. Heading into the evening, heavier snow from the philadelphia area, Westchester County reaching up across connecticut into boston and new england. So by midnight toward the predawn hours the last of the snow will be exiting maine. We have winter storm warnings extending from maine right on down into north carolina. So a big portion of the east coast all impacted again. Thats where the biggest snow totals are going to be. Looking at a widespread 6 to 10, at times as much as 12 inches of snow in that strip. The only area we have to watch for today will be a storm that comes through the northwest, looks very wet on thanksgiving day from seattle to portland.

Soup . slurp slurp slurp slurp for four generations family laughs gong campbells mm mm good ,, the frustrations that weve seen are not just about a particular incident. They have deep roots in many communities of color who have a sense that our laws are not being used uniformly or fairly. That was president obama speaking after a grand jury decide not to indict a white Police Officer for shooting Michael Brown. Its not the first time president obama has addressed race relations. Major garrett has more. In a White Community the path to a more uniform feeling is that it does not just exit in the minds of black people. Reporter that was candidate barack obama in 2008, visualizing a less divided country, encouraging a more candid conversation about americas legacy of racism. He offered himself as a president who could lead that conversation and theres been no shortage of events leading to that promise or the president s leadership. When henry lewis gates, the harvard proffers and friend was accused of breaking in a house in massachusetts, the president was blunt. The Cambridge Police acted stupidly in arresting somebody when there was already proof that they were in their own home. Theres a long history in this country of africanamericans and latinos being stopped by Law Enforcement disproportionately. Thats just a fact. The president was accused of speaking prematurely. The results beer summit fiasco between mr. Gase and the Police Officer taught mr. Obama the limits of his own rhetoric and symbolic power. Then came Trayvon Martin. An unarmed black teen killed by a neighborhood watchman in 2012. The president interjected more than once. My main message is to the parents of Trayvon Martin. If i had a son, he would look like trayvon. That Trayvon Martin could have been me 35 years ago. Reporter the shooting death of Michael Brown used new caution. Mixing jeopardy of the judicial process mixed with public outrage. The decision was the grand juries to make. There are americans who agree with it and americans who are deeply disappointed, even angry. Its an understandable reaction. Reporter americas first black president has willingly shouldered the burden of a nation fractured along racial lines. Mr. Obamaca carries the Unrealistic Expectations of healing that divide, a pretty with a singular is tested once more. Major garrett, cbs news, the white house.
