ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION)

A woman was struck by a vehicle at a rally in Minneapolis on Tuesday (November 25), as sympathy protests spread to several U.S. cities, after a grand jury declined to indict a white policeman in the fatal shooting of an unarmed black teenager in Ferguson, Missouri.

Authorities said the car driver was cooperating with police and that the victim sustained minor injuries.

The unrest surrounding Brown's death in Ferguson, a predominantly black city with a white-dominated power structure, underscored the often-tense nature of U.S. race relations and strained ties between African American communities and police.

Protests swelled from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C., on Tuesday.
