Police keeping protesters on the move in Ferguson; National Guard on the scene
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch ^ | August 18, 2014 | Staff

As darkness fell Monday night, police increased their effort to keep protesters moving -- politely telling protesters they needed to keep moving.

One protester asked pointedly "Did they tell the people supporting the cop downtown to keep moving?" referring to a Sunday evening gathering in support of Officer Darren Wilson.

But the crowd, smaller than Sunday night, was staying on the sidewalk and obeying officers' orders to keep moving.

Carmelita Wiliams came from Dellwood to join the protests. She said she plans to be out for as many nights as it takes.

"If one person is left, I want to be with that person," she said.

Another protester, Allysha Hamber, 42, asked how her sons can stand fight for America, "but I can't stand on sidewalk and protest?"

In a related development, a federal judge Monday night denied a motion by the American Civil Liberties Union for a temporary restraining order to stop police from requiring people to keep moving on sidewalks and thoroughfares in Ferguson unless they're gathered in a designated protest area.

8:20 p.m. Monday Steve Giegerich, Valerie Hahn, and Margaret Gillerman.

Press Club condemns treatment of journalists in Ferguson

The Press Club of Metropolitan St. Louis on Monday condemned the treatment of all journalists covering the Ferguson crisis.

"We strongly condemn the manhandling and disrespect shown to our colleagues by authorities during the unfolding crisis in Ferguson, Mo.," the group said in a statement. "We believe these actions should cease, and that those responsible for maintaining order in Ferguson establish and enforce rules to assure the safety of our journalistic colleagues."

Police kept protesters on the move Monday night, telling anyone who stopped in a parking lot or street to keep moving.

Reporters were included in the keep-moving mandate by police....

I was watching some of this on a live stream.

Does anyone know why so many of the people on that street have backpacks?

Well, odds are that they are NOT students.

No because they were not looting, shooting or throwing Molotov cocktails.

Either they are carrying all their worldly possessions in those packs or they hope to fill them with “stuff” later tonight.

Yes, those are all the reporters who have flown in from out of town.

Yeah, that will wear out the media. They will all head for the airport and the protesters will head home once they get no 'coverage'.

Bricks, molative cocktails, gas, gas masks, etc. They certainly aren’t on their way to school.

Um - that looks sorta ominous. Many decades ago my youthful grandparents were on vacation in Hot Springs Arkansas when grandpa started noticing stereotypical-looking hillbilly characters milling around all over town, each one lugging around a rucksack. Made grandpa kinda uneasy particularly since said hillbillies didn't look exactly friendly. While they were in some antique store/junk shop grandpa asked the proprietor about all the sketchy characters roaming the streets - the guy in the store nonchalantly replied "Oh, that's a feud" and went on to explain that when enough from both sides came into town, things should hit critical mass and there would be a showdown. The rucksacks contained pistols and/or disassembled (broke down) shotguns. Since dodging stray rounds was not their idea of fun grandpa and grandma got back to the hotel, packed up and got the heck out of town.
