How can we return control of public safety to local communities? And how can we ensure that abuse is minimized and abolished? JUAN GONZÁLEZ: Protests are set to begin for a third consecutive day in Ferguson, Missouri over a grand jury’s decision not to indict officer Darren Wilson for killing unarmed black teenager Michael Brown. Missouri Governor Jay Nixon deployed more than 2000 national guardsmen Tuesday night to patrol the St. Louis area. Police repeatedly fired smoke bombs and tear gas to scatter protesters gathered near Ferguson City Hall. Some property damage was reported, but far less than Monday night. Authorities said 44 people were arrested. Demonstrations over the Michael Brown case spread across the country to over 100 cities. People took over interstate highways, held sit-ins and marches across the country. ... THOMAS EYBL: Nobody is asking that we be treated specially, we’re asking we be treated the same.
