Anti-Racist Protest Hit Malls in Ferguson Area
Friday, November 28, 2014
MANCHESTER, Mo. (AP) — Dozens of people have interrupted holiday shopping at major retailers around the St. Louis area to speak out about a grand jury's decision not to indict the officer who fatally shot Michael Brown.
The protests began Thanksgiving night and continued early Friday. Protesters spent a few minutes at each store, shouting inside. An officer in at least one store ordered them to leave. There was no immediate word of any arrests.
According to Johnetta Elzie, who had been tweeting and posting videos of the protests, demonstrations occurred at a Wal-Mart and Target in Brentwood, two Wal-Marts in St. Charles and one Wal-Mart in Manchester.
Other Black Friday protests are planned in Kirkwood, Missouri, and other cities.
