Thousands of protestors shut down swathes of downtown Manhattan and Brooklyn in the second night of protests sparked by a grand jury's decision not to indict a police officer who killed Eric Garner in a chokehold this summer.
By 8 p.m. Thursday, both the West Side Highway and Brooklyn Bridge were shut down by protestors. Police tell CNN they're trying to give protestors breathing room.
Update 8:25 p.m.
There are already reports of arrests:
