Hundreds of people marched through the streets of Ann Arbor Tuesday evening to protest police violence and injustice following the grand jury decision on the police shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo.

"Hands up, don't shoot!" they shouted as they marched down Liberty and Main streets, stopping traffic. "Hey, ho! Racist cops have got to go!"

University of Michigan students and community members gathered at 6 p.m. at the Diag and then walked, chanting, to the Ann Arbor Police Department.

All over the U.S., people gathered to protest Brown's death.

Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson shot and killed 18-year-old Brown in August. A grand jury announced Monday, Nov. 24 it would not indict Wilson. At least 14 people were injured Monday in protests following the decision, according to the Associated Press. Protests were calmer in Ferguson Tuesday night.

The protest in Ann Arbor also was for Aura Rosser, a 40-year-old woman killed by Ann Arbor police on Nov. 9 after police allege she confronted them with a knife.

Ann Arbor police said Tuesday the march did not cause any problems.

About 80 people also gathered at 4:30 p.m. in downtown Ypsilanti for a protest.

Students and community members took turns speaking at both the Diag and the police department.

"White privilege fills the air while black bodies fill the streets," said Simon Rivers, a U-M student speaking at the Diag. "We will have our justice."

Capri Nara Kendall, U-M Black Student Union secretary, said she never thought she'd see images of historic riots become a reality.

The system cannot protect those who it was not intended to protect, she said.

"We have to be the change for the better," Kendall said.

Austin McCoy said the Ferguson situation was an attack on black humanity, and the late announcement of the grand jury decision was a provocation.

"We will answer provocation by ... further mobilizing support for humanity of all people of color," he said.

While the crowd marched through Ann Arbor, people and vehicles stopped where they were. People held up their phones through restaurant windows to take photos of the protesters.

Outside of the police department, Chavonna Bigham, 21, of Ann Arbor, spoke about spending time with Rosser in Washtenaw County jail.

"She was a soul that couldn't be replaced," Bigham said. "It doesn't matter if you're a good person ... they don't care."

She encouraged the protesters to continue fighting for justice beyond Tuesday's march and mobilize to affect change. But, she warned, that has consequences.

"If you fight for this change, you have a target on your back," Bigham said.

The protests in Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti were among several in Michigan and the country a day after the grand jury returned its decision not to charge Wilson. In Detroit, five people were arrested Tuesday and protesters in Kalamazoo broke a police car window.

In Ann Arbor, Anthony Morgan, who also appeared at the Ypsilanti protest, said America witnessed the death of justice on Monday.

It's not a cop issue or a lawyer issue, the Ann Arbor resident said, but a human issue.

"I just saw beautiful people shut this city down," he said to cheers. "This does not end here."

An entire family came out to the protest because the Ferguson shooting was a travesty, said Susan Ayer of Ann Arbor. She came with her son and daughters.

"It's outrageous," she said of police violence. "Police have a gun and they think they need to use it."

"That's business as usual," replied her son, Benjamin Ayer of Kalamazoo.
