BOSTON – Schools 1,200 miles from Ferguson, Missouri are making preparations for the impending grand jury decision and made it clear they’ll be on the lookout for “agitators.”

Over the weekend, Boston Public Schools sent a robocall to parents of students in 7th grade or higher, according to the Boston Globe.

Boston Police Commissioner William Evans also contacted students in the city’s colleges and universities, urging cooler heads to prevail should any demonstrations be held after the grand jury’s ruling involving the shooting death of Michael Brown.

“I ask that if public demonstrations occur as a result of the decision, they are done with respect to our neighbors and businesses, responsibly and peacefully,” Evans wrote.

“The Boston Police Department respects the rights of individuals to assemble and advocate for their opinions and causes,” the commissioner continued.

“We are asking students to be mindful that there may be outside agitators trying to provoke and instigate otherwise peaceful protests.”

Boston police spokesman Officer James Kenneally says the message BPS students received was a “reiteration” of the message to college students.

The police department will reportedly accommodate protesters, but will “be on the lookout for individuals who may attempt to rile up crowds,” according to the Globe.

“We’re not going to have a military presence here in the city of Boston,” Mayor Martin J. Walsh said earlier in the week.

“I believe in free speech. I believe in people being able to protest and speak their will freely. I believe that’s the society we live in. I would just ask people to do it in a respectful way.”

A grand jury is deciding whether to indict Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson in the death of Brown.
