Hundreds of protesters clogged South Florrisant Road in front of the Ferguson Police Department as they demanded justice in the shooting of Michael Brown three weeks ago.

The crowd grew rapidly beginning about 1 p.m. after earlier marching from the site of Brown's shooting by a police officer to a city park, where Brown's family spoke.

The march was billed as a protest "against police killings, brutality, profiling and legal cover-ups." Organizers said people would be coming from around the country for the march.

Many people carried signs and there were people honking horns and shouting "Justice for Michael Brown."

Probably the majority of the crowd...

Why don’t they just want justice according to the evidence???

They do not want blind justice, they want what they want and

to hell with the facts, credible eyewitness accounts, and

evidence.

They do not want truth and honesty, they want the black

race card to instantly win the game for them.

UPDATE: The crowds have been dispersed after an aerial assault by the Ferguson P.D. Several helicopters took to the sky, dropping thousands of job applications. It is believed there were no injuries as the crowds dispersed. However, some were heard uttering something about unnecessary use of force.

Justice is when you take down a thug who strong armed a convenience store clerk then smashes you (a cop) in the eye and fracture your eye socket. That is justice.

Can't wait until Saint Charging Bull's juvenile record for second degree murder is made public.'

They won't let that happen until after the election, of course.

That's all it's about.

It takes a publication in Pakistan to get the truth out

WHAT WAS THE PURPOSE OF THE FERGUSON RIOTS ?
All this inflamatory reporting of confrontations between black youths and authority is ruthlessly designed to keeping the black segment of Obama’s political support riled up so that any thought of instituting a richly deserved impeachment proceeding goes nowhere.

This regime and its supporters don’t give a damm if some poor black women or anyone else used all their resources to set up a business in those communities only to have it destroyed through blacks rioting resulting from what democrats created through their propaganda. Such blacks are viewed as eggs that must be broken to make their omlet.

That includes the whites,”hispanics” (note quotes) and asians. They are the other victims who have been maimed, assulted, and murdered by blacks citing those Florida manufactured episodes as their excuse for retribution.

This POTUS (president of the United States) signaled the clever direction to take through his use of “The Bully Pulpit”. And continues to rely on the constitutional office of The US Attorney General to conduct activities and investigations which promote division rather than supress it. Two examples of this used in the Florida case were Holder’s support of the Black Panther’s protest activity and the reward for the demise of the alledged murderer George Zimmerman of the “child”, Treyvon Martin. Which got a wink and a nod

With Ferguson beside sending in 40 DoJ prosecuters which remain to be seen what they come up with. (The Washington Post sent in 4 reporters to work over officer Wilson). Holder demanded witholding the devastating release of the video showing the “victim”was a 6 foot 4 inch 295 pound Michael Brown assulting a dimunitive asian store clerk, who was being portrayed as a just turned 18 year old black”kid” innocently walking home to grandma’s house shot in the back by a white police officer, Wilson, just because Brown was black.

That video was released according to press reports by the police chief of Ferguson responding to FOIA (freedom of information act) requests. But had that video been released earlier there was a decent chance there might have not been 4 days of rioting looting, and destruction of property.

The POTUS has yet to acknowledge and decry those other results, of killings and assults by blacks of whites, “hispanics”, and asians, in retribution for what a “white” hispanic did to a black kid.. Let alone be urged to do so by “news” members of the democrat propaganda army known as the media. They have yet to suffer as their victims the same or any conseqences. They like him are being held unaccountable . It’s time both are. .

The last thing they’re demanding is justice. They want a mob-style lynching with no trial for the accused.

“Justice” in the case is defined as the lynching of the cop.

Meanwhile, all those black “ministers” are fully supportive of the killing of 52% of black babies in the womb. According to Alex Jones, elite blacks have told him privately they that are GLAD that so many black babies never see the light of day. They view non-elite blacks as human garbage.

I wonder how many of the protesters are area residents, as opposed to from out of state?

Also, regarding demanding justice, they need to brace themselves for a possible reality check.

Any business stupid enough to remain open there is looking to go bankrupt through theft.
