Ferguson Mayor: 'Threats' Across Region, Protests Expected
Tensions in Ferguson, Missouri, have simmered since black teen Michael Brown was shot and killed by a white police officer in August. And with a grand jury expected to soon deliver its decision on whether to indict the officer, a group that represents protesters says it wants 48-hours notice before the decision is announced so it can help prevent the St. Louis suburb from once again boiling over with anger, violence and confusion. Ferguson Mayor James Knowles told local media this week that authorities must "prepare for the worst" and he expects demonstrations across the area. CNN affiliate Fox 2 reported Wednesday that Knowles would not give details on law enforcement's plan following the grand jury's decision, but he spoke in broad terms about the approach law enforcement is going to take. http://bit.ly/1E9ueSt http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ
