Protesters rallied around the nation Saturday over what they call police brutality directed at minority communities.

The rallies come after grand juries in Staten Island and Ferguson, Missouri, declined to indict white police officers in the deaths of black men.

Thousands of protesters were in Washington, D.C. for the Justice for All March. The march went down Pennsylvania Avenue between the White House and the Capitol.

Others marched in the Millions March in New York. The march started at Washington Square Park and ended in front of the NYPD headquarters.

Demonstrations took a violent turn in Manhattan on the Brooklyn Bridge Saturday night. Two police officers were allegedly attacked while attempting to arrest protesters blocking traffic.

Reports say the protesters knocked the officers to the ground, beat them and tried to steal their radios.

Investigators say they also found a backpack at the scene containing hammers and a black face mask.

Former Pres. Bill Clinton says the country needs to re-establish the relationship between police and the communities they serve.

Marchers say they will continue to protest until their outrage is met with action.
