Ferguson experiences 3rd straight night of unrest

By

FERGUSON (NEWS1130) – Authorities arrested three protesters during a third straight night of unrest in Ferguson, Missouri.

The heightened tension comes amid speculation that an announcement could come soon about whether to indict a white Ferguson police officer in the Aug. 9 shooting death of an unarmed black teenager.

St. Louis County police say large groups of protesters blocked traffic three times in the St. Louis suburb Friday night. That happened twice near the police station and once on West Florissant Avenue, the site of violent protests soon after Michael Brown’s death. A motorist lost control and crashed into a light pole during the unrest on West Florissant.

Prosecutors said around noon on Friday that the grand jury was still in session. Brown’s family, police and activists have called for calm.
