"Breaking Point"

Protesters angry over the Ferguson grand jury decision push down a chain-link fence, climb up a dirt hill to walk onto one of the great symbols of Southern California - the freeway, in Los Angeles, Calif., on Nov. 25, 2014. Racial tension over policing in the United States reached a breaking point. The officer-involved shootings of Michael Brown, Eric Garner, Ezell Ford, Tamir Rice, and John Crawford III have drawn out thousands of demonstrators in an intense dissent.
