Ferguson Protest Procession Enters Midtown Area
A crowd of people peacefully protesting the decision by a grand jury in Missouri temporarily blocked I-75 and I-85.
Hundreds of people protesting against the decision made by a grand jury in Missouri to not indict a white police officer for killing a black teenager are marching peacefully through Atlanta on Tuesday evening.
WSB-TV reports that a group of protesters had shut down Interstates 75 and 85 at their merger, but they have since moved on and are in the Old Fourth Ward area. Atlanta police and Georgia State Patrol personnel are protecting the protesters’ march by blocking off intersections ahead of the march, WSB-TV says.
