THEY ARE WALKING TOWARDS 33RD STREET. IT IS ALREADY NIGHTFALL HERE. THIS WAS A PEACEFUL PROTEST, AND IF YOU ASK MORGAN STUDENTS IF THEY WERE TRYING TO BRING ATTENTION TO FERGUSON, THEY SAY THAT THEY BELIEVE THEY WERE SUCCESSFUL. MORGAN STUDENTS BLOCKED TRAFFIC AT THE INTERSECTION OF COLD SPRING LANE ANALOG LOCH RAVEN BOULEVARD, UNDER THE WATCHFUL EYE OF POLICE. IT WAS THE EXTENSION OF AN EARLIER PROTEST ON CAMPUS. IT MAY NOT BE THE WAY TO GET -- TO DO ABOUT IT. THE ONLY WAY TO LET PEOPLE KNOW YOU ARE HERE IS TO DO THINGS THAT ARE NOT THE NORM. ♪ SOMEBODY TRYING TO HOLD US BACK ♪ THEY SAY THE FERGUSON RULING ONLY HEIGHTENED CONCERNS AROUND ISSUES THAT THEY HAVE WITH POLICE IN BALTIMORE CITY. OBVIOUSLY WHAT IS HAPPENING IN FERGUSON IN NEW YORK AND OTHER PLACES, IT IS JUST A CATALYST FOR QUICKER ACTION. AT THAT RALLY WE SAID WE WOULD NOT STAND FOR THESE THINGS AND TWO YEARS LATER, STUFF LIKE THIS HAPPENS AGAIN. WE ARE NOT TAKING NO FOR AN ANSWER. HANDS UP! DON'T SHOOT! THEY WILL FIGHT FOR CHANGE -- BUT IN STAGES. THERE ARE THINGS THAT SHOULD NOT BE TOLERATED, BUT I AM SAYING COMMIT YOURSELF TO CHANGE AND A CHANGE AGENDA.
