Violent protests erupted in Ferguson, Missouri, US on 24 November after demonstrators learned there would be no criminal indictment of police officer Darren Wilson for the August shooting death of unarmed teen Michael Brown.

Scores of police officers in riot gear dispersed a crowd of about 300 with volleys of tear gas, pepper spray and bean bags.
