While a grand jury vote on whether a Ferguson, Missouri, police officer will be charged in the death of unarmed teenager Michael Brown had been expected as early as Saturday, sources say the grand jury is now planning to meet on Monday. Multiple sources told NBC News that public safety units, including police and fire, have eased back on their alert status. Twelve-hour police shifts that had been planned for Saturday are now expected to begin Sunday. In recent days, Brown’s father as well as President Barack Obama called for protesters to remain peaceful in the St. Louis suburb once the grand jury decision is announced. Past protests have sometimes devolved into looting and vandalism. http://nbcnews.to/1qQ0EAR http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ
