Members of the Don't Shoot Coalition said at a news conference that they want to advance notice once a grand jury decides whether to indict Officer Darren Wilson, who is white, for the Aug. 9 shooting of Brown, who was black.

The coalition represents more than 50 organizations including union workers, anti-war activists and black empowerment groups. Its members are leaders of the protests that erupted across the region after Brown's death and have continued in the three months since.

"Everyone around the United States and much of the world is looking at St. Louis," said Michael McPhearson, they better get this one right or there will be hell to pay.

Ed Magee, a spokesman for St. Louis County Attorney Bob McCulloch, who is overseeing the grand jury investigation, met with McPhearson and attorney Denise Lieberman earlier Wednesday and said the coalition's request for 48 hours' notice of a grand jury decision is "being considered."

"After the verdict, no matter what it is, people are going to pour into the street - either in celebration or in rage," said Montague Simmons, chairman of the Organization for Black Struggle.

Organizers have created 19 "rules of engagement" the police must follow, including calls to treat protesters as "citizens and not enemy combatants."

Yeah, police shooting more blacks....that should stop any rioting.

In a town like Seattle, when there are riots, they are whites breaking the windows

Yeah, police shooting more blacks.. Clown

At a news conference this week, it was agreed the police will use a “demilitarized response” when interacting with protesters, banning the use of tear gas, rubber bullets and armored vehicles.

No actually it's mostly blacks doing the rioting while it's mostly whites protesting even in Seattle. Clown you made a Freudian slip when you pointed out it would be black looters when no one mentioned race, live with it dude, you called it right.

When whites do it...it's protesting.

When blacks do...it's rioting.

Activists across the country met Saturday to map out their protest plans. Meeting organizers encouraged group members to provide their names upon arrest as Darren Wilson or Michael Brown to make it more difficult for police to process them.

In Berkeley, officials this week passed out fliers urging residents to be prepared for unrest just as they would a major storm — with plenty of food, water and medicine in case they're unable to leave home for several days.

In Boston, a group called Black Lives Matter, which has chapters in other major cities, is organizing a rally in front of the police district office in the Roxbury neighborhood the day after an indictment decision.

In Albuquerque, New Mexico, police are expecting demonstrations after having dealt with a string of angry protests following a March police shooting of a homeless camper and more than 40 police shootings since 2010.

Philadelphia police spokesman Lt. John Stanford said he anticipated his city will see demonstrations, regardless of what the grand jury returns. Holder promised swift justice against any officer who over steps their powers.

The New York Police Department, the largest in the nation, is "trained to move swiftly and handle events as they come up," spokesman Stephen Davis said.

In Boston, McCarthy said the city's 2,200 sworn police officers have dealt with a range of public actions and are ready for the protests.

DOJ announced they have several lawyers in Ferguson who will insure the civil rights of protestors aren't violated by the police.
