FERGUSON, Mo. - About a dozen protesters were jailed after being arrested during Thursday's protests in Ferguson, Mo. and it has some local officials and rights groups questioning if police overreached.
A small number of people gathered outside Ferguson police headquarters, the latest of several protests since the Aug. 9 shooting death of Michael Brown by Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson. Protesters want Wilson, who is white, to be charged in the killing of Brown, 18, who was black and unarmed. A grand jury investigation is expected to stretch into November.
Just before midnight, officers began moving toward the protesters, who were chanting, and used plastic restraints on their wrists and put them in a van, according to Gabrielle Hanson, who was at the scene while her mother, freelance videographer Mary Moore, shot video. Moore was among those arrested, Hanson was not.

Where is the federal investigation in this going I wonder?
I have no faith in the prosecutor or that he can stay unbiased in the case.
