Activists set up shop in multiple states around the US, including New York and California, as they expressed disagreement over the lack of indictment for Ferguson officer Darren Wilson. In New York City, protesters gathered in Times Square and outside of Macy’s at Herald Square, where police eventually intervened and arrested multiple people.

More than 150 people showed up outside Macy’s to protest, according to NBC New York. While some entered to the store itself holding signs reading “Shut it down!,” most stayed outside chanting, "Out of the store, into the streets!"
