Across central North Carolina and around the country, people of various backgrounds and faiths gathered Tuesday night in response to a grand jury’s decision to not indict a Ferguson, Mo. police officer in the shooting death of an 18-year-old man – including a crowd that blocked a major Triangle highway.
A group of about 20 Ferguson protesters briefly blocked the northbound lanes of the Durham Freeway at Mangum Street at about 6:30 p.m., bringing rush hour traffic to a stop.
The group chanted “no justice, no peace” while holding signs and banging a drum. One sign read “cops are liars.” Some of the protestors stood while others laid flat on the roadway.

But according to the pResident, certain communities (black) are mistreated by the police. Maybe the police in Durham did not get the memo.

I thought it was unlawful to block traffic but yet it has been happening over and over.
