Demonstrators are expected at 7 tonight on the state capitol grounds in St. Paul, according to Lt. Eric Roske, a State Patrol spokesman. Police have not heard from organizers, and there is no permit as of yet, he said.
Protests are also planned for Minneapolis. There were peaceful protests at several area high schools today, with hundreds engaging in a sit-in at Minneapolis South High School before moving to a local police precinct.
Demonstrators are protesting the decision by a grand jury not to indict Darren Wilson, the Ferguson police officer who shot and killed unarmed teen Michael Brown.
