FERGUSON, Missouri, November 24, 2014– Monday night, a grand jury decided not to indict officer Darren Wilson in the death of Michael Brown.
Previous to the public announcement, police have been anticipating an eruption of violence. Multiple reports of police commentary began to flood the internet as on location journalists and citizens listened to police scanners. As the announcement was made, protesters mostly breathed a sigh of disappointment and turned to walk away. So far, no violence has been witnessed.
