Protesters gathered near the Ferguson police department hours before Prosecutor Robert McCulloch announced that Officer Darren Wilson was not indicted. Demonstrations turned violent soon after the announcement was made.
Protesters made good on their promise to burn the city if the decision did not go their way. At least 12 buildings were burned in Ferguson. Police vehicles were set on fire and melted in the street. The Auto Buy Credit car dealership in Dellwood had cars burned in the lot. Smoke filled the air and flames could be seen all night.
