A human blockade temporarily formed on I-75/85 northbound Wednesday evening as protesters halted traffic. The incident was part of a protest in response to the Aug. 9 fatal shooting of a 18-year-old African-American by a white police officer in Ferguson, Mo.
Atlanta police spokesman Officer John Chafee said a number of protesters were present on the Downtown Connector near Freedom Parkway. Their presence blocked traffic for a short time.
No arrests were made in connection to the protest, he added.
Southerners On New Ground field organizer Mary Hooks told the Associated Press that she and other grassroots organizers helped plan the protest as part of a national week of resistance to mass incarceration and police brutality. She said the protest was also connected to the Ferguson shooting.
People on Twitter were writing in support of the protest using the hashtag #BlackLivesMatter.

I've yet to figure out how 6 or 7 people in the middle of the freeway can stop traffic

Pathetic bullshite!
That was an illegal protest that disrupted the orderly flow of the traffic system. They should've been arrested on the spot.

They should spread the rumor, EBT cards will be updated a week late as a reult of the road block.

They're just blacks throwing a hissy fit. You gotta let them let off some steam.
The subtle bigotry of low expectations.

Didn't see the video, but seriously, why do cars just stop? I may not barrel through, but I would definitely keep moving at a slow pace

I wonder if anyone was on an emergency trip to the hospital and got blocked by these jackasses?

I guess the goal was to provoke the police into something, like saving their arses, so they could claim they were mistreated...Looks like they want anarchy...

We'll they did warn CNN that they had people in Atlanta if they kept reporting lies about the Brown murder. Guess the protestors weren't lying.
