A St. Louis County grand jury has declined to indict Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson in the case of the shooting death of Michael Brown, USA Today reported Monday evening, quoting Michael Brown's family.
The grand jury's decision was announced by prosecutors Monday evening after weeks of speculation about how they would act on the case.
Missouri officials called for calm Monday in advance of the announcement. The officer's fatal shooting of an unarmed black teen in August had touched off weeks of sometimes violent protests.
The announcement was being made at the courthouse in the St. Louis County seat of Clayton, part of the sprawling St. Louis suburbs.
Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon urged in advance that "regardless of the decision, people on all sides show tolerance, mutual respect and restraint."
The unusual timing of the grand jury's announcement, after darkness had fallen, was a decision of prosecutors, Nixon said.
He said several local churches would provide shelter, safe haven and medical care in the event of unrest.
St. Louis County Executive Charlie Dooley also called for calm in an evening news conference. "This is not the time to turn on each other; it is a time to turn to each other. We are one community," he said.
St. Louis Mayor Francis Slay acknowledged the case "has deeply divided us" but said "turning violent or damaging property will not be tolerated."
"The world will be watching us," Slay said.
Police have said Brown struggled with Wilson inside his police car, then reached for Wilson's weapon. Brown's family and some witnesses say Wilson killed Brown as he raised his hands in surrender.

Crowd looking extra violent and hateful now
From the Blaze comments:
“On the first day of Kwanzza, my homie looted me
A 52 inch plasma screen t.v....”
LOL!!!
Apparently the social media machine isn’t working. You’d think the rioting would’ve broken out by now.
Nice.
Have the Obamas left yet for the annual Hawaii Kwanzaa-fest?
Many of the beat up business owners are black.
Rule 1: Rioter= target
Rule 2: Refer to Rule 1

Well, I’m just really relieved about the grand jury decision, but we’ll have to wait and see what sort of backlash the locals will face.
i wonder what the white people want to steal, sporting goods?
This is Trayvon/Zimmerman part deux where the left demands you must be a victim when a feral attacks, to hell with the evidence.
Will Caliph Baraq be speaking from the WH?
Oh now THAT is funny. Only plasma is so, like, yesterday. Has to be an LCD screen TV. But the lyrics still work.
Looting has begun per police scanner.
Cold up in here!
