A group of exiled Tibetan monks made the journey from India to stand alongside protestors in Ferguson, Missouri, and did so late this weekend.
The monks stood on the street with their hands up in surrender, a gesture that, along with signs and t-shirts reading, “Don’t shoot,” has come to represent the protests and the frustration felt after the shooting of Michael Brown, and the clashes between civilians and police that have been recurring on the streets of Ferguson.
Response to the monks’ presence seems to have been overwhelmingly positive, with people lining up to hug them and take their pictures. Huffington Post has photos and footage of the scene; click here.
