"No justice, no peace," and "Hands up, don't shoot!" 


At 3:30 p.m. today, a crowd of about 300 gathered to march in protest of a grand jury's decision not to indict police officer Darren Wilson in the shooting death of 18-year-old Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo. in August. They gathered at City Hall, right across the street from City Paper's office. It was reported the march was progressing north to Cecil B. Moore Avenue. The crowd was chanting several phrases like: "No justice, no peace," "Hands up, don't shoot," "Who are we? Michael Brown!" and "Hey hey, ho ho, these racist cops have got to go." 

Many in Philadelphia are discussing Ferguson using the #FergusonPHL hashtag on social media.
