NEW YORK
On Tuesday night, thousands of people brought traffic in New York to a standstill by blocking bridges, tunnels and highways. Donning riot gear, NYPD officers were dispatched to Times Square, where many of the protesters were based. At least two people were arrested.
In one of many long lines of demonstrations making its way through the Big Apple, demonstrators shut down lanes of the FDR, known more formally as the Franklin D. Roosevelt East River Drive, as they chanted, 'Mike Brown! Mike Brown!',CNN reported.
And at Union Square, around 400 people gathered at sunset, before breaking into groups of marchers and making their way through the city.
The protesters, who seemed to grow in number as the night wore on, disrupted traffic on the FDR Drive and congregated at the entrances to the Williamsburg and Manhattan bridges and the Queens tunnel. Commissioner William Bratton said police were giving protesters 'breathing room.'
'As long as they remain nonviolent, and as long as they don't engage in issues that cause fear or create vandalism, we will work with them to allow them to demonstrate,' he said. One of the two people arrested was the man who threw a jar of fake blood that struck Bratton on Monday.
In addition to New York, several hundred protesters also marched peacefully through nearby Newark in New Jersey.

PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA
In Philadelphia, dozens of protesters shouted insults and waved signs outside a police station as they rallied for justice on behalf of Brown.
The first of Tuesday's protests took place at noon in front of the Byrne Federal Courthouse along Independence Mall, where a group of men and women held signs reading: 'Outraged! Where is our Justice?' and 'Don't Shop Black Friday!', according to NBC.
Police kept an eye on protesters via binoculars from a nearby roof. As the daylight faded, three groups - the Uhuru Movement, POWER and Temple University-based People Utilizing their Real Power or PURP - met outside Philadelphia City Hall to protest.

During Tuesday night's protests, several hundred people marched down a freeway ramp in Cleveland, Ohio, in a bid to block rush-hour traffic.
They were not only demonstrating against the grand jury's verdict in the Michael Brown shooting case, but also the fatal shooting of 12-year-old Tamir Rice, of Cleveland, at the hands of an officer last Saturday.
Tamir, who was formally identified by officials on Sunday afternoon, was spotted 'waving around' an airsoft gun at a playground next to Cudell Recreation Center at 3.30pm last Saturday. He was later shot by police who believed the toy was a real firearm.
Speaking from the streets of Cleveland on Tuesday, protester Naesha Pierce, 17, who is black, said: 'The system wasn't made to protect us. To get justice, the people themselves have to be justice.' At least one person was arrested in the protests.

[h=3]THE NEWS NETWORK FIGHT TO WIN AN INTERVIEW WITH DARREN WILSON[/h]ABC News' George Stephanopoulos landed the highly-prized first television interview with Officer Darren Wilson, after the Ferguson, Police officer met with anchors and executives from a handful of other networks.
In television terms, the Wilson interview was one of the biggest 'wins' of the year - the officer's low-profile since the shooting means every media organization covering the high-profile story was eager to speak to him.
ABC interrupted its afternoon programming on Wednesday for Stephanopoulos to talk about the interview, in which he sat down the police officer less than 24 hours after the grand jury decision not to indict him was announced.
It is unclear if ABC paid for the interview - CNN'S Brian Stelter tweeted: 'TV nets sometimes find $$ ways to 'win' exclusive interviews. But not Darren Wilson: ABCer says 'No payment, no licensing, no NOTHING.'

CNN anchors Anderson Cooper (left) and Don Lemon (right) both spoke with Officer Wilson in private, but appear to have lost out on booking interviews with the controversial figure
CNN'S Anderson Cooper is doing his show from Ferguson as is NBC'S Brian Williams.
Speaking on his CNN Sunday morning show Reliable Sources, host Brian Stelter revealed that five anchors had all had off-the-record conversations with the police officer and that his list was not exhaustive.
'My sense from my sources is that it's mostly the anchors doing the talking in these off-the-record meetings, it's mostly Darren Wilson listening and getting to know the person, said Stelter.
Soon after the program aired on Sunday, both Cooper and Lemon confirmed via Twitter that the meetings had taken place.
Both were keen to explain that such meetings are a normal part of the TV guest booking process in order to establish trust and comfort with the potential interviewee.
'For the record, I met briefly with Darren Wilson a few days ago to see if he wanted to do an interview with me. That's standard procedure,' Cooper wrote.
Cooper denied that his meeting with Wilson was part of a pro-police conspiratorially and pointed out that he'd repeatedly interviewed Michael Brown's family members and their attorneys.
'I'd also like to interview the grand jury,' Cooper wrote. 'There is no conspiracy here. Reporters want to interview people and sometimes you have to meet them first.'
He added that Wilson had chosen 'not to do an interview with me.'
Cooper, on Twitter, drew a comparison to another man in the news that many journalists wanted to interview earlier this year: disgraced Los Angeles Clippers team owner Donald Sterling.
'Prior to interviewing Donald Sterling, for example, I also met with him to ask him to do an interview. That's how you ask for an interview,' Cooper wrote.
