More Demonstrations in Ferguson, MO




[From article]
State troopers and St. Louis city and county officers warned the roughly 150 demonstrators who gathered to stay out of the road as they protested last month's shooting of Michael Brown, a black, unarmed 18-year-old, by a white officer. There were nearly as many officers as demonstrators.
Organizers said the protest in Berkeley was designed as an act of nonviolent civil disobedience similar to a 1999 demonstration in the same location. During that protest, hundreds of people shut down the interstate in a dispute over minority hiring for road construction projects.
[. . .]
Wednesday's protest near Ferguson followed a tense meeting of the city's elected leaders Tuesday night. The Ferguson City Council held its first meeting since Brown was killed, hoping to use the gathering as a chance to promote community healing. Instead they were met with anger and warnings from constituents that council members would be voted out of office.
The protesters' chief demand both Tuesday and Wednesday was for the arrest of Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson, whom some witnesses say shot Brown while his hands were raised. They also want St. Louis County prosecutor Bob McCulloch, the son of a police officer killed in the line of duty, to step down over concerns that he can't impartially judge the evidence.

Black Gang Beats White Missouri Couple


[From article]
The violent attack took place Aug. 22 near the Outland Ballroom after a rap concert. News reports said the victims were Meredith Cole and her boyfriend Alex Vessey, who was working at the club as a DJ.
"They just turned around and attacked Alex," Cole told Fox 2 Now in St. Louis Friday.
Vessey also described the attack. "As soon as we started walking that way about halfway down they jumped on top of me," he told the station. "She tried to get them off me and they assaulted her too."

Missouri Residents Demand More Stores to Loot


[From article]
If they don’t restore this community for people who stay here it’s gonna be hell to pay…
A second protester chimed in
[. . .]
Yeah, that’s why people looting, because they can’t get no jobs.
[. . .]
If you don’t rebuild those businesses we looted and torched, we’ll loot and torch some more – until you do.

TV Guest Objects To Speech About Riots in Missouri


Denial is a strong censorship device. Is he saying that under Obama, Holder, Johnson, Tom Perez and Valerie Jarrett, black voices are censored? Is that because the above ruling quintumvirate fears black voices?

[From article]
MSNBC guest Dr. James Peterson claimed that the media shouldn’t be talking about the violent race riots going on in Missouri over the police shooting of an African-American teenager, calling it “a red herring.”
Peterson spoke with Dr. Michael Eric Dyson on MSNBC’s “The Ed Show” Tuesday. The duo discussed the shooting of Michael Brown and the days of riots that have followed — although Peterson wasn’t too keen on discussing the violence and looting at all. (RELATED: News Photographer Needed His War Gear To Cover Missouri Riot Following Police Shooting)
“I think first and foremost, for us to be outraged at the response to the murder of Michael Brown doesn’t make a lot of sense to me,” Peterson claimed. “Because the outrage needs to be directed at the source.”
“They can handle the riot and stop the riot and control the riot,” he said dismissively. “But the real question is can we get our criminal justice system, can we get our police departments, to acknowledge the humanity of black and brown folks?”
[. . .]
“So I think our energy needs to be focused on that,” Peterson asserted. “It’s not that rioting is a good thing, but you know, as MLK said, rioting is sort of the language of the oppressed and those that are silenced. And those young people in that community have been oppressed and they’ve been silenced.”

[From article]
a vigil for Brown, 18, was held at around 7 p.m. in Union Square. Protesters then began a march up Broadway and Seventh Avenue to Times Square.
The protesters ran into a police barricade line at 43rd Street and Seventh Avenue. Some tried to push up against the officers, but the officers held their own, CBS 2’s Joe Biermann reported from Chopper 2.
The protesters then moved on to nearby Father Duffy Square before heading back to Union Square.

Black U.S. Rep. Seeks Martial law In Missouri



Spoken like true civil libertarian. Constitution be damned. 

[From Article]
“People have a right to protest,” Lewis said on MSNBC. “They have a right to dissent. They have a right to march in an orderly, peaceful, non-violent fashion. And the press has a right to cover it. Ferguson, Mo. is not the Congo. It is not China. It is not Russia. We can do better.”
“President Obama should use the authority of his office to declare martial law,” he continued. “Federalize the Missouri National Guard to protect people as they protest.”

St. Louis Gang Named For Obama


[From article]
The facts in the Obama Boyz case are these: Anthony Jamal Lee, then 18, was arrested about a year ago for allegedly firing a gun out of a car and injuring several people. Police, according to local reports, said he was part of the “Obama Boyz” gang but did not elaborate.
St. Louis gang detectives and police officials all declined today to respond to WND requests for comment.
Often, gangs take their names from their neighborhoods, and in East St. Louis, there is a Barack Obama Ave.
