WICHITA, KS (KCTV) - In Ferguson, MO, demonstrators plan to hold a four day "Justice for Michael Brown" weekend.
Brown was a black teenager shot and killed by a white police officer, generating outrage.
Currently a state grand jury is deciding whether to indict Darren Wilson, the officer in Brown's death.
Police and activists like the Rev. Al Sharpton are preparing for the possibility of new demonstrations depending on what the grand jury decides.
Concern over what will happen with the state grand jury decision reaches far beyond Ferguson. With the grand jury decision expected in the next couple of weeks, U.S. Attorney for the District of Kansas Barry Grissom reached out to community leaders, law enforcement, faith-based leaders and the local National Association for the Advancement of Colored People or NAACP to make sure they are prepared and taking a proactive approach, regardless of the outcome.
"None of us do (want to get caught off guard). Our primary response in law enforcement is to make sure our citizens are safe in their homes, their houses of worship, their businesses, their communities," Grissom said.
To try to make sure that happens once a grand jury decision is announced, Grissom is continuing a dialogue which began with the Federal Bureau of Investigation and law enforcement after protests in Ferguson turned violent and disruptive.
Grissom said regardless of the outcome of the grand jury, they need to be prepared.
"We need to talk about the what-if's. What if there isn't an indictment of the officer or what he is indicted. Members of all communities are going to react differently," he said.
Grissom said while he doesn't think there will be problems locally, he believes a conversation with community leaders was necessary....

Understatement of the year nominee.
This was a hideously wrong hill to die upon. The story is set about with doubt.
“Justice for Michael Brown”
Seems to me He’s already the recipient of justice.

Lesson to be learned: If you want politicians to support your cause, act violently, or at least threaten violence. Works every time.
Play this up for four days to get the black vote on Tuesday. Wednesday they refuse to indict.
A few cars will be burned, some stores looted and once again the blacks will remain on the rat plantation, failing to see the irony.
The obligatory adjective “unarmed” is amazingly absent from the article.
Prepping...for that night at least...and a few afterwards.
And there will be violence, regardless of what the verdict is.
This is the only mentality that will eventually restore a law abiding-society to true Americans
"Members of all communities are going to react differently"Did The Civil Rights Movement Self Destruct?
Start shooting looters, as they deserve, and it will briefly mushroom then die in a poll of blood.
Anyone convicted of rioting/looting/theft during this post grand jury decision period should lose their EBT cards PERMANENTLY!! Mandatory, NO exceptions! And announce this in advance. Should stop 50% of thugs.
Agree - shoot the ones caught stealing/destroying and take away benefits from those that got away...
I guess Monday counts as "the next couple of weeks." Can Jarrett pull it off?
How dare those arrogant jurors make a decision based on facts and their own judgement!
Don’t they understand the racists and race pimps (Obama, Holder and Sharpton aren’t the only ones) are demanding
that Officer Wilson be lynched then drawn and quartered on the street where Downtown Brown was shot?
I noticed that, too
Sorry, but just what the bleep is “concern”.
People sitting around with their hands on their chins, knitting their brows?
Or is the media just trying to pick at a scab in order to sell newspapers.
