"Breaking Point"
A protester chanting, "hands up, don't shoot," lies on the ground as part of a "die-in" protest to halt traffic on Crenshaw and King boulevard in a second day of protests to the Grand Jury's decision to not charge Ferguson, Mo., police officer Darren Wilson in the case of Michael Brown's shooting, in Los Angeles, Calif., on Nov. 25, 2014. Even before the Ferguson grand jury announcement was made, Brown's name reverberated far beyond the Missouri town. His name became a rallying cry for police reform, sparking nationwide conversations about officers' tactics and relationships with their communities.
