Your Photos: Hundreds March in Georgetown to Protest Ferguson Decision

Another protest is scheduled Sunday at the Federal Triangle in DC.

Hundreds of protestors gathered Saturday in the streets of Georgetown to express their outrage at what they say was injustice after a policeman went free in the shooting death of Michael Brown, an 18-year old black man in Ferguson, Mo.

It was one of many such protests across the country since a decision was announced earlier in the week not to indict the police officer.

The protest group in Georgetown eventually made their way to Arlington’s Pentagon City Mall Saturday afternoon, where they staged a ”die in” by lying on the food court floor for 4 1/2 minutes; one minute for each hour that Brown was on the ground after the shooting, according to The Washington Post.
