Peaceful protests overnight in Ferguson

Hundreds of people held peaceful demonstrations in Ferguson Missouri Friday night to protest police violence.

The crowd held signs and carried a coffin as they walked through the streets of the St. Louis suburb.

Civil rights organizations are holding the marches and protests from Friday to Monday over the August 9th shooting death of black teenager Michael Brown by a white police officer.

Violence broke out in St. Louis earlier this week after another black teenager was shot dead by an white police officer.

Local Ferguson authorities say they are planning for large crowds this weekend and possible violence.
