Protest of Ferguson Decision Planned for Tonight

A rally to protest Monday night’s decision not to indict the police officer who shot unarmed teenager Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri will take place this evening, Tuesday, at 6 p.m. A group of Princeton area residents are planning to gather at Tiger Park in front of Palmer Square.

The Coalition for Peace Action is co-sponsoring the rally, which was announced before the prosecutor revealed the grand jury’s decision not to indict officer Darren Wilson. Similar protests are planned in Newark, New York, and Philadelphia.

The protest is designed to be peaceful, according to an announcement made at Monday night’s meeting of Princeton Council by resident Daniel Harris. Participants are asked to bring candles and flashlights.
