Protesters tried to stop the annual Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City after continued national anger with the decision not to indict officer Darren Wilson, who killed teenager Michael Brown in Ferguson.
Hands up don't shoot #stoptheparade #BlackLivesMatter
The protesters also remembered a black Staten Island man, Eric Garner, who was approached by police, put in a chokehold and killed earlier this year.

There were a sizable number of protesters.
And to every last person more concerned about the parade than the cause... You will NEVER silence us. #stoptheparade
