Tensions on the rise in Ferguson as people await grand jury decision

  • 10 years ago
Tensions are on the rise and seven people have already been arrested for blocking traffic as a nation awaits the decision by a Grand Jury on whether or not to indict the police officer who shot and killed unarmed African-American teenager Michael Brown in August. NGOs have been teaching angry citizens lawful forms of peaceful protest, and law enforcement is also being prepared to deal with the possible public reaction if the police officer who killed the teen is let off the hook. teleSUR
