(Washington Post) There was no riot gear, no tear gas and no arrests when a crowd of more than 1,000 people surged through downtown St. Louis on Saturday, demanding justice for Michael Brown, the unarmed black 18-year-old shot and killed by a white police officer just over two months ago.
Instead, police kept their distance from the spirited morning march, which included participants from across the country.
The event was part of a four-day “weekend of resistance” and came as a grand jury is still considering whether to charge Ferguson, Mo., police officer Darren Wilson in Brown’s death.
