KALAMAZOO, Mich. –The rear window of a Kalamazoo Public Safety Department cruiser was broken out during a protest of the Ferguson, Mo., grand jury decision Tuesday.

About 150 people gathered in Kalamazoo to protest after a grand jury’s decided not to indict officer Darren Wilson in the shooting death of Michael Brown.

The crowd gathered at 6:15 p.m. on November 25 in the area of E. Michigan Avenue and Pitcher Street and protesters eventually made their way to Martin Luther King Park on Rose Street.

Police said the protest was mostly peaceful, but one person broke out the rear window of a police cruiser. However, no suspect has been identified.

Police also said that they did not need to intervene, because of the mostly peaceful nature of the protest. It ended around 8 p.m., and no one was arrested or issued a citation.
