On Monday evening, a grand jury decided not to indict Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson in the Aug. 9 fatal shooting of Michael Brown, an unarmed black male teenager. While protesters took to the streets in several American cities, some athletes voiced their opinions on the ruling via social media.

Stunned they are making Brown family wait HOURS after the decision was rendered to know if their son's killer would be indicted! Ridiculous!

I just need to know. If you are UNARMED and charge an officer with NO weapon they have the right to murder you?

Very sad! RT @J_Hancock: Michael Brown's mother weeping. People starting to scream "shut it down." Lots of disbelief in the crowd. #Ferguson

I shared previously that I lost my brother to senseless gun violence. How can there be no justice when a human life is taken? #RIPMikeBrown
