FERGUSON, Mo. -- Five people, including a legal observer who said he was simply walking back to his car, were arrested outside the Ferguson Police Department Wednesday night as protesters gathered to call for the arrest of Darren Wilson, the police officer who killed 18-year-old Michael Brown in August.
The officer's case is currently being reviewed by a grand jury, which must decide whether or not to indict Wilson by January 2015, though a decision expected within the next several weeks. Amid rampant speculation that the jury will side with Wilson, protesters on site predicted more turmoil in Ferguson in the event of an acquittal.
Authorities estimated that about 200 people gathered outside the Police Department Wednesday. The crowd was largely peaceful, though some members of the crowd knocked over barricades that had been set up to block access to the department's parking lot. A St. Louis County Police spokesman said that when officers attempted to clear the lot, they were "immediately pelted with rocks and bottles."

Things haven’t been the same since 1967.
You THUGS have RUINED Ferguson for all time....welcome to YOUR HELL that YOU MADE!!! Nop DECENT person will EVER want to live in Ferguson again!!! IDIOT THUGS!
“Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual.”
Life will never be the same for the cop. He was doing his job and protecting himself.
These Furgeson morons care nothing for the facts.
They can always go back to bitching, burning, looting, using their ebt cards, their Section 8 housing, selling stupid Gentle Giant Tee shirts, with no remorse for their actions.
That cop has to watch his back for the rest of his life.
Exactly. They made their own bed now they can sleep in it.
Last week they were protesting in front of the Ferguson Walmart because Walmart hasn’t restocked the 60” plasma TVs for the next riot.
Let ‘er rip tater chip.
And some of those demonstrators are likely out of town agitators paid by front groups who get disguised funds from Obama’s government.
When is the first snow in Missouri?
C’mon Ann, tell us what you really feel...Let it all out :-)
Crap! It sounds like he intends to not work and live off government subsidies or something...
Just more reason for the other races to arm themselves with at least 1 handgun and 1 rifle.
Just getting ready for a night of “trick or treat” (aka burning & looting).
There are PLENTY of places where that cop can settle down, have a much higher quality of life, be safe, and be honored by his community. Places where thugs wouldn't even dare to venture.
St Louis and its surrounding area isn't one of them.
What's funny, is that they don't know that they've been played by the leftist establishment. All those hip-hop and black celebrities that attended Brown's funeral. They're not going to return, and neither will the businesses.
George Zimmerman hasn’t had a job since the day he was arrested.
