The driver of a vehicle bumps protesters who decided to block traffic on S. Florissant Rd. in an act of civil obedience on Saturday, Sept. 20, 2014, as demonstrations continue against the police shooting of Michael Brown. The incident lend to the arrest of two protesters and the man driving the vehicle.
Three people were arrested during protests near the Ferguson Police Department on Saturday afternoon after a protester claimed he was bumped by a passing vehicle, police said.
The incident triggered a round of standoffs between police and protesters, who blocked traffic on the street.
About 35 people were protesting at 2:16 p.m. on South Florissant Road about a block from the police department when a protester claimed he had been bumped by a vehicle, according to Ferguson Police Chief Thomas Jackson. The driver was arrested, along with a protester who damaged the man’s car. A third man was taken into custody when he ignored police orders to get out of the roadway.

We don’t have slavery here anymore. The residents of Ferguson need to relocate to Africa and try to eliminate the ongoing slavery there.
This would be even better.

Hey I honk angrily sometimes at the union strikers, they are a bunch of thugs as well
I recall back in the late 60s - early 70s when my way was blocked near the local university by a bunch of rat bastard hippies sitting in the road protesting whatever. I so much wanted to bulldoze them out of the way with my front bumper! My first of two afflictions with what later became known as "road rage". Thanks be to God, I was able to control the urge and stay out of prison!
do you see how new laws are being written everyday by the DOJ. Now Holder’s People can attack you in your car and if you dare try to take off and “bump” the oppressed, jail time for driver.
Think I’m kidding?
Their local liberal rag thought she was so wonderful that they did a long puff piece about her.
Doesn’t anyone know how to write today?
protesters who decided to block traffic on S. Florissant Rd. in an act of civil obedience on Saturday,
civil OBEDIENCE???
I also saw the video. The only crime I saw was a mob of angry people scaring the Bee-Jesus out of a poor driver of a SUV. The mob should be very glad I wasn’t the driver. In a panic, I probably would have plowed through the whole bunch!! (And I would have been profoundly sorrowful and regretful afterward.)
If I had been in that situation, I would not have considered myself in danger, because they weren’t touching any vehicles.
