Having quietly got married this weekend, the 28-year-old Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson – who fatally shot unarmed black teen Michael Brown in August – will discover shortly after 5pmET today if he will stand trial for Brown’s death after the grand jury verdict is released by the St. Louis prosecutors office. As Brown’s lawyer previously noted “ninety-nine percent of the time the police officer is not held accountable for killing a young black boy,” Crump said. “The police officer gets all the consideration.” Dragging the decision out over the weekend has some fearing it has merely stoked tensions, and protests have already been arranged for later this evening. Police, as we previously noted, are prepared; and the White House has reiterated their call for calm. After-school activities in Ferguson have been cancelled (somewhat suggesting the outcome is not what Ferguson residents are hoping for).
