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. the 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 you 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. >> and in ferguson, danielle, what is the latest there. >> reporter: anne-marie, well, the national guard has moved in. the main strip here, in ferguson is still on fire this morning. it seemed like in a matter of minutes, what were peaceful protests gave way to violence.

police officers say they were hit by batteries and rocks. reporters took cover from gunfire. police say they arrested at least 29 people. police say this is much worse than the scenes we saw back in august. they said this is something they couldn't even anticipate. and as far as the destruction that was left behind, police say at least 12 structures burned down, total losses because of these violent protests. and they're not sure what's going to happen next. they're asking for demonstrators to continue to protest peacefully, as these days follow. michael brown's mother, she showed up at the ferguson police department after the decision was announced. a very emotional, but again, asking the public not to respond to violence with even more violence. and even as we're here now, there are more fire trucks, more police, more national guard troops coming in here in

ferguson to help get control of the situation. and also, during all of this chaos, the faa restricted airspace over ferguson because of the violence. and that has affected flights trying to land at the st. louis airport, anne-marie. >> danielle, you mentioned reporters being in danger. we certainly had incidents with reporters during previous coverage of previous protests. what was going on with that? >> reporter: it was the same scenes. things escalated out here very quickly. so, first, it was the smoke that police shot off. then there was tear gas. then we started seeing fire being set in trash cans. structures started to burn. at some point, we heard firecrackers, but then it was gunshots. tonight, the police chief said he heard at least 150. many people that we spoke to said they heard hundreds through

the course of the night. we saw captain ron johnson, he's been the face of law enforcement out here. he said he was very disappointed. they said they had many meetings with the community, they made many efforts to make this a peaceful decision and it certainly has not happened. >> certainly heartbreaking to watch. danielle nottingham, thank you. thousands of pages 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 is 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. he said he followed and he told them he stopped 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. at least one eye theness told me brown can started charging towards the police officer. the police officer opened fire on mr. brown. but there are conflicting witness accounts whether brown walked or charged wilson or whether brown's hands were raised. for more on decision. we're joined by legal analyst ebony williams. good morning. >> good morning. >> do we are any idea how the grand jury came to this decision? a >> certainly, anne-marie. one thing we know for sure, there were two people for sure. michael brown unfortunately is not with us. heavily they relied on the testimony of officer wilson as you said correctly you pointed

out that he had thought it was a struggle for his life. and also the forensic evidence and also the medical testimony. there were a couple of medical examiners they heard from, including one from the state and the family of michael brown. >> forensic evidence. this is sort of a case like you said of one person's version and 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 had about 60 witnesses that they heard from over the course of these 25 separate days. and we heard eyewitness testimonwe know under the law that eyewitness is often conflicting. that is the most probative

evidence they could consider. >> moving forward, we have a federal investigation, does that still have legs in light of the granded jury's decision? and what about the brown family, is there a possibility they could sue civilly? >> yes and yes. the d.o.j. investigation is active and ongoing. we know darren wilson has been consistent from day one. to make sure he strongly enforces to the maximum ability the civil rights cases. 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. so the civil lawsuit that will be filed by michael brown's family. absolutely. i'm sure they will file of which officer wilson can very well be found liable for the wrongful killing. michael brown and have to face

substantial damages. >> eboni williams, thank you so much. morale list and protests are scheduled around the country. demonstrators supported the missouri decision outside the white house last night. tensions were high in seattle as protesters clashed with police near highway land. bigad shaban reports on some of the demonstrations around the country. >> black lives matter! >> reporter: community activists have organized more than 100 rallies over the next few days in u.s. and canada in response to the grand jury's decision. protesters here are making their way through the neighborhoods and started on martin luther king boulevard. it 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 indicted 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 sad and disappointing. >> reporter: civil rights leader jesse jackson encouraged protesters to protest in peace. >> we want justice. we want a peace that's driven by a sense of fairness. >> reporter: hundreds in had chicago, in 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 darren wilson coming up on "cbs this morning." coming up on the "morning news," a pre-thanksgiving snowstorm. as residents in new york undergo the big thaw. this is the "cbs morning news."
