Protesters in Dupont Circle Wednesday night

Protesters continued to shut down streets in D.C. Thursday evening in the wake of the decisions not to indict the police officers who killed Michael Brown, an unarmed Ferguson, Mo., teenager, and Eric Garner, a Staten Island man who died after police put him in a choke hold. They rallied against police practices and brutality, particularly against black men. The D.C. protests were some of many that erupted throughout the country.

Demonstrators, according to the Post, shut down northbound lanes during rush hour on the 14th Street Bridge and then moved onto Constitution Avenue NW, closing streets as they marched and chanted. Streets were also shutdown for protests Wednesday evening.

Groups of protesters eventually made their way to the Wilson Building on Pennsylvania Avenue NW and D.C. police headquarters, on Indiana Avenue NW. Reports on social media indicate that protesters also rallied in Chinatown and in front of Union Station.
