Ferguson-related protest at Memphis intersection
MEMPHIS - Protesters in Memphis are expressing their feelings about the shooting of an unarmed man by a police officer in Ferguson, Missouri.
Holding signs saying "stop police violence" and "value all lives," about three or four dozen protesters began gathering at around 5 p.m. CST Tuesday at a busy intersection in east Memphis near shops, restaurants and a large grocery. Some motorists honked car horns in solidarity as they passed.
The protesters are chanting slogans such as "this is what democracy looks like." They are gathering a day after a grand jury decided not to indict white officer Darren Wilson in the Aug. 9 shooting death of 18-year-old Michael Brown, who was black.
Memphis Police Director Toney Armstrong said Monday that the public is entitled to demonstrate but that violence and lawlessness won't be. No significant police presence was visible at the protest.
