Since August, a disparate array of demonstrators some from longstanding organizations, others from new groups with names like Hands Up United and Lost Voices has been drawn here to protest not just the shooting of Mr. Brown, but also the broader issues of racial profiling and police conduct.
Now, with the grand jurys decision expected in the coming days, the groups are preparing with intricate precision to protest the no-indictment vote most consider inevitable. Organizers are outlining rules of engagement for dealing with the police, circulating long lists of equipment, including bandages and shatterproof goggles, and establishing safe spaces where protesters can escape the cold or the tear gas.
At least one group has said on Twitter that it was offering a reward for information on the whereabouts of the officer, Darren Wilson, and, at another point, that it was restocking on 7.62 & 9 mm ammo. Law enforcement authorities said they would not discuss individual groups, but that they were constantly looking, at several groups, according to Brian Schellman of the St. Louis County Police, trying to separate the rhetoric from the actual threats.

Release the info late at night on a Friday just like the weekend news dumps of the administration. IOW catch the protesters when they are not ready.

Oldeconomybuyer:" Organizers are outlining rules of engagement for dealing with the police .."
What ?
They think they are in Afghanistan with 'rules of engagement' for the police too ?
And 'rules of engagement' for the protestors. Sounds like they are going to war , considering the leaders just met with Obama ,..clandestinely on 11/05/14 .

fta:
...the protests grew violent. Stores were looted, and the police said demonstrators threw gasoline bombs and tried to set fires... Protesters said the police response was an overreaction to just a few in the otherwise peaceful crowd.

“Organizers are outlining rules of engagement.
“Organizers” DO NOT, repeat DO NOT set the rules for ANYTHING. You break the law and you pay the consequences.
