STAND STILL: Ferguson Protesters BLOCK 101 Freeway in LOS ANGELES

Demonstrators protesting the Ferguson, Missouri grand jury’s decision charged onto the 101 Freeway in downtown Los Angeles Tuesday night and stopped traffic cold.

CHP officers arrived on the scene shortly after and erected barricades and pulled the demonstrators to the side of the road.

After running into the roadway shortly after 9 p.m., the protesters blocked all lanes at Grand Avenue by placing barricades that they had picked up on side streets. The protesters had marched to the 101 Freeway from Los Angeles Police Department headquarters in downtown, where hundreds had gathered earlier in the evening. h/t ktla
