L.A. protests over Ferguson decision continue for second night

The L.A. Times reports:
As protesters poured through the streets of Los Angeles for a second night Tuesday, they chanted about change and racial injustice while rallying against a Missouri grand jury's decision not to indict a police officer in the August death of an unarmed black man.

A diverse crowd made its way through the streets on foot and on bicycles, some pushing strollers, others leading dogs. The protest, some demonstrators explained, was about combating a sense of defeat after the grand jury's decision.
There's more:
One officer was injured when a protester threw a frozen water bottle that struck his head, an LAPD spokeswoman said. A number of protesters managed to climb onto the 101 Freeway and halted traffic. At least one police cruiser was covered with graffiti.
