A MO grand jury will announce a decision on whether they indicted Officer Darren Wilson for killing #MikeBrown any moment now. Sustained protests calling for justice for Mike Brown, an end to police killings and for systemic reforms to policing nationwide are expected to once again dominate national headlines. Tensions are running high and Governor Jay Nixon is preparing by declaring a #StateOfEmergency and calling in the #NationalGuard. TheRoot asked #Ferguson residents how theyre preparing for the grand jury decision. Larry Fellows -- a local organizer -- offered these powerful words: they’re preparing with artillery, armor and guns; and we’re preparing by gathering band-aids, food and water,” said Fellows. He added, “They’re preparing for war, and we’re preparing for our safety.” If you believe that federal officials must protect peaceful protestors from local law enforcement then take action and demand that President Barack Obama and A.G. Eric Holder do everything in their power to keep peaceful protesters safe from a militarized crackdown following the indictment decision: act.colorofchange.org/sign/mikebrownpresobama/
