Protesters returned to the riot-scarred streets of Ferguson, a day after crowds looted businesses and set fire to buildings in a night of rage against a grand jury's decision not to indict the white police officer who killed an unarmed black 18-year-old, a case that has inflamed racial tensions in the US.

Hundreds of additional National Guard troops were sent to the St Louis suburb to help local authorities keep order. Hours after nightfall, tensions escalated as a police car was set on fire outside City Hall, and authorities released tear gas.
