MANHATTAN -More than 40 students participated in a protest at the K-State Student Union over the lack of an indictment in the well-publicized case of Michael Brown’s death in Ferguson, Mo.

Justice Davis, junior at K-State and Black Student Union President, led the protesters in the ‘Hands Up – Don’t Shoot’ chant before 4.5 minutes of silent protest by those present.

The student activists wore black and laid on the ground on the main level of the Union in the main hall to represent the 4.5 hours Michael Brown was left on the street after being shot by Officer Darren Wilson.

Davis mentioned several cases involving racial discrimination and police brutality that have occurred over the last few years.

He finished the protest by explaining the Black Student Union’s position is one of non-violence, and violence is not to be condoned.
