On Monday night, Nov. 24, America witnessed Ferguson, Missouri, go up in flames and chaos as the prosecutor announced that there would be "no indictment" filed against the officer who fatally shot unarmed teen Michael Brown in August in Ferguson.

According to NPR, eyes and ears were open and listening to the news as everyone learned that Police Officer Darren Wilson, 28, would not be charged for any crimes in the death of the 18-year-old.

Monday night's decision sparked an outrage not only in Ferguson community, but all over the U.S., including Chicago, New York, Oakland and Los Angeles.

Brown's parents asked protesters to stay calm and be peaceful, but that went up in flames and resulted in looting.

The Brown family said, "We are profoundly disappointed that the killer of our child will not face the consequence of his actions."

The statement continued, according to NBC News, "While we understand that many others share our pain, we ask that you channel your frustration in ways that will make a positive change. We need to work together to fix the system that allowed this to happen.

"Join with us in our campaign to ensure that every police officer working the streets in this country wears a body camera. We respectfully ask that you please keep your protests peaceful.

"Answering violence with violence is not the appropriate reaction. Let's not just make noise, let's make a difference."

Though Wilson is free of the charges that were pending Monday, he still faces the possiblity of a civil rights lawsuit.
