Tension in Ferguson: Awaiting Grand Jury Ruling

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VsAPQoQCeiQ

Tensions are rising as the nation waits for the grand jury decision on whether Officer Darren Wilson should stand trial in the shooting of Michael Brown. According to CNN, "the grand jurors have until January, but the prosecutor's office has said a decision could come in mid-November"….Hopefully a decision is made soon.

Authorities are concerned that if the grand jury decides that Office Darren Wilson shouldn’t be charged with killing Michael Brown, that there will be protests and riots in Ferguson, MI. According to The Times Record, "the Missouri’s governor has already activated the National Guard. Nixon said 'the St. Louis County Police Department would be in charge of security in Ferguson and will work with Highway Patrol and St. Louis city police to keep citizens safe’.

What do you think the grand jury decision will be? If the grand jury decides that Office Darren Wilson shouldn’t have criminal charges brought against him, what do you think will happen in Ferguson?
