news" for tuesday, november 25th, 2014. good morning. good to be with you. i'm anne-marie green. well, violence erupted in ferguson, missouri, overnight. the trouble began soon after it was announced a grand jury did not indict white police officer darren wilson in the shooting death of black teenager michael brown. at least a dozen buildings and cars were set on fire. there was gunfire and looting. after the decision was made public, president obama called for a peaceful response. >> first and foremost, we are a nation built on the rule of law. and so we need to accept that this decision was the grand jury's to make. >> danielle nottingham has the latest from ferguson. >> reporter: the national guard has now moved in. parts of the main strip here in ferguson are still on fire this morning. it seemed like in a matter of minutes, peaceful protests gave way to violence. police say they were hit with batteries and rocks.

reporters took cover from gunfire. police say they arrested 29 people so far. protesters marched into the early hours. demonstrations spiraled out of control and turned violent. at least a dozen buildings were set on fire. businesses looted. windows broken, and hundreds of gunshots were heard. >> what i've seen tonight is probably much worse than the worst night we ever had in august. and it's truly unfortunate. >> reporter: police hurled tear gas into crowds. some demonstrators talked to authorities and set fire police cars. >> the police started it themselves. they have an aggressive stance. and they intimidate people. >> reporter: all angry over a grand jury decision not to indict ferguson police officer darren wilson in the shooting death of 18-year-old michael brown. >> they definitely killed that man. they overkilled him. >> reporter: rioting spread here

to west florissant where protesters set businesses on fire. following that release, they released testimony. wilson said he shot a series of rounds at brown during the confrontation which began while still on the squad car. wilson said, his hands were inside on me, and he entered my vehicle with his arms and hands over his head assaulting me. >> and not a destruction of our community. >> reporter: brown's mother broke down among protesters following the decision, calling for the system that claimed the life of her teenage son to be fixed. even if her anger, she urged protesters not to combat violence with violence. the faa restricted airspace over ferguson because of the violence. it has affected flights trying to land at the st. louis airport. danielle nottingham, cbs news,

ferguson, missouri. well, more than 1,000 pages of grand jury documents were released including officer darren wilson's testimony. wilson said brown attacked him in his patrol car. when i grabbed him, testified wilson, the only way i could describe it, i felt like a 5-year-old holding ton hulk hogan. wilson goes on to testify about the teen. he immediately grabs the gun, twists and digs into my hip. wilson fired two shots into the car and brown started running. wilson followed, he told brown stop and brown lands towards him. as he's coming towards me, says wilson, i keep telling him to get on the ground, and he doesn't. i shoot a series of shots. i'm backpedaling pretty good, testified wilson, because i know if he reaches me, he will kill me. well, at least one eyewitness said brown started charging towards the police officer. the police officer then opened fire on mr. brown. but there are conflicting

witness accounts whether brown walked or charged wilson or if brown's hands were raised. for more now on the grand jury's decision, we are joined by legal analyst eboni williams. eboni, good morning. >> good morning. >> let me ask you, do we have any idea of how the grand jury came to this conclusion? what may have they been considering? >> certainly, anne-marie. one thing we know they have to consider was the testimony of darren wilson. there were two people who know what happened, unfortunately, michael brown is not with us. heavily they relied on the testimony of officer wilson as you said correctly, he pointed out that this was indeed a struggle he felt like was for his life. and also the forensic evidence and also the medical testimony. there were a couple of medical examiners they heard from, including the one appointed by the state and the family of michael brown certainly considered. >> the forensic evidence. this is sort of a case like you said of one person's version and

then the words from a variety of conflicting eyewitnesses. beyond the word of officer wilson, what other pieces of evidence did the grand jury have to look at? >> certainly. they had about 60 witnesses that they heard from over the course of these 25 separate days that they convened over the past three months. and as you said, again, conflicting testimony. we know in the law that eyewitness testimony is inherently unreliable. so certainly while there was weight and consideration in those witnesses' testimony, while it was consistent, they have to default to the science because ultimately that is the most probative and most trustworthy piece of evidence they could consider. >> moving forward, we have a federal investigation, does that still have legs in light of the grand jury's decision? and what about the brown family, is there a possibility they could sue civilly? >> yes and yes. the doj investigation is active and ongoing. we know that attorney general eric holder has been very

consistent from day one of this case. this is part of his political legacy to make sure he strongly enforces to the maximum ability the civil rights cases. however, that's a high burden of proof, anne-marie, to give to a civil rights violation. they would have to have overwhelming evidence that indeed michael brown's civil rights were violated. so far we don't know anything that indicates that but it will be active and ongoing. to the civil lawsuit potential that will be filed by michael brown's family -- absolutely. there will be a civil wrongful death suit i'm sure they will file in which officer wilson will not face jail time. found liable for the wrongful killing of michael brown and have to face substantial financial damages. >> cbs news legal analyst eboni williams here in new york, thank you. >> thank you, anne-marie. more rallies and protests are scheduled around the country. demonstrators protested the missouri grand jury decision outside the white house last night. tensions were high in seattle as near highway land. bigad shaban reports on some of the demonstrations around the country.

protesters marched through south central los angeles demanding justice. >> justice! >> reporter: thousands of people packed city streets from california monday night in passionate, though mostly peaceful protests. >> black lives matter! >> reporter: community activists have organized more than 100 rallies over the next few days in the u.s. and canada in response to the grand jury's decision. protesters here in l.a. are making their way through neighborhoods and started the march on martin luther king jr. boulevard. police officers helped block streets and traffic was backed up for miles. eric drew is a 30-year-old musician in los angeles and said brown's death and the grand jury's ruling have ignited racial tensions. >> it seems like our judicial system is sending a message to young people that minorities are not going to see justice actualized in their lifetime. it's just really sad and disappointing. >> reporter: civil rights leader jesse jackson encouraged

demonstrators to protest in peace. >> lawlessness isn't sanction for justice. we want justice. we want a peace that's driven by a sense of fairness. >> reporter: hundreds in had chicago and cleveland took to the streets even before the grand jury's announcement. chanting what's become a rallying cry since brown's death. many protesters say they'll continue to rally until justice is served for brown and his family. bigad shaban, cbs news, los angeles. >> we'll have much more on the unrest in ferguson and the grand jury's decision not to indict officer darren wilson coming up on "cbs this morning." coming up on the "morning news," a pre-thanksgiving snowstorm. and residents in buffalo, new york, undergo the big thaw. this is the "cbs morning news." is the "cbs morning news." not caused by a heart valve problem. that puts jim at a greater risk of stroke. for years, jim's medicine tied him to

a monthly trip to the clinic to get his blood tested. but now, with once-a-day xarelto®, jim's on the move. jim's doctor recommended xarelto®. like warfarin, xarelto® is proven effective to reduce afib-related stroke risk. but xarelto® is the first and only once-a-day prescription blood thinner for patients with afib not caused by a heart valve problem, that doesn't require regular blood monitoring. so jim's not tied to that monitoring routine. gps: proceed to the designated route. not today. for patients currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. xarelto® is just one pill a day taken with the evening meal. plus, with no known dietary restrictions, jim can eat the healthy foods he likes. don't stop taking xarelto®, rivaroxaban, unless your doctor tells you to. while taking xarelto®, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto® can cause serious bleeding,
