Protesters March on Missouri Target in 'Brown Friday' Demonstration

Protesters March on Missouri Target in 'Brown Friday' Demonstration

"Hands up, don't shop."

Around 75 protesters marched on a Brentwood, Missouri Target late Thursday night in a "Brown Friday" demonstration, urging customers not to shop at the store the next day, KSDK-TV reports.

The protesters, one reporter said, were "taking over Target" and demanding that police officer Darren Wilson, who fatally shot 18-year-old Michael Brown in Ferguson, be arrested.

A grand jury last week chose not to indict Wilson over the shooting, setting off a chain of protests in Ferguson and across the country.

Video shows the protesters chanting and walking around with their hands up, in an apparent imitation of how some say Michael Brown was standing before he was shot, though some witnesses say Brown's hands were not actually up at the time.

KSDK-TV reports that a nearby Walmart was also targeted, with protesters shouting slogans like "hands up, don't shop."
