MILWAUKEE (AP) — About 50 students rallied on the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee campus to protest a grand jury’s decision not to indict a white Ferguson, Missouri, officer who killed a black 18-year-old. Organized by student organizations and Milwaukee County Supervisor David Bowen, they started by standing silently with signs like, “We are Michael Brown,” the teen killed in Missouri. They then chanted “Hands up, Don’t Shoot” — a refrain that has become a rallying cry in protests over police killings — before falling to the ground. After a few minutes, they got up and people vented their anger over the outcome of the case and chanted “No justice, no peace.” The family of a black man killed by a white officer in Milwaukee also planned a rally later Tuesday.
