After a third night of violence and unrest in St. Louis, about 100 protesters marched in silence along downtown streets Monday during the morning rush hour. Once they reached City Hall, the silence gave way to chants for justice.
The city has been marked by protests since Friday, when former police officer Jason Stockley was acquitted on charges of murdering a black motorist after a police chase in 2011. Stockley is white.
Overnight Sunday, police arrested more than 80 people after a peaceful protest turned violent as night fell. In a concentrated area downtown, some protesters smashed windows and overturned trash cans, while others threw chemicals and rocks at police, authorities said.
“After the demonstration, organizers announced that the daytime protest was over,” Mayor Lyda Krewson said in news conference at about 1 a.m. Monday. “But a group of agitators stayed behind, apparently intent on breaking windows and destroying property.”
She declined to take reporters’ questions.
Some protesters complained that police were unnecessarily aggressive. Further inflaming tensions, a St. Louis photographer reported he and others heard police chant “whose streets, our streets” after making some arrests.

Throw them in jail. Bravo
Could it be that sane people are back in control of the asylum?
ouch...careful now..........
The agitators busted up some of the windows at her personal residence. So she kind of has some skin in the game.
They've now got their bloomers in a bunch because the police are using their chant?
Do they have a copyright?
Black motorist? Really?
That's like calling John Dillinger a bank customer.
The “police” belong to the people. The people paid for their training, paid for their equipment, pay for their retirements and the support of their families. We OWN them. Any threat upon them should met with unrestrained, brute force. Period.
At least they didn’t chant, “USA, USA!” /S
I monitored the post official-march live stream until RiotWatch went off air. Yes, the officers did give a u-rah and a ‘who’s streets’ but the only instance I heard of that police chanting was after the last of the 20-some odd diehard protestors had been surrounded and zipped and were in the vans on the way to the slammer. The cops were lining up to get on their bus, and it was a simple one-liner. The only people left on the street were a few lookie-loos and a dozen press or so. Sometime after 1am.
I’ll give it to them. They worked their butts off these past 3 nites, and they’ll probably be out there tonite, too.
“Cops are on the beat, tenderizin’ meat!’
That’s hilarious! Good for the cops.
That chant is a fascist chant used by the communist front groups when they “protest”.
It is what they were chanting when they got run down in Charlottesville.
It is a chant reflective of their fascist totalitarian motives, wherein they are claiming their little commie fascist groups own the streets.
Your from the BLM-supporting contingent of slime that posts here for some reason.
We could, but only once. One crying liberal college kid with his split open, blood pouring out, boohooing on Livestream, and it would all be over.
Or maybe it would be the proper start...
I know this. Those officers sounded ten time more badass with the chant then the protesters.
But the protesters coming out tonight are going to take up the challenger again.
Arrest and keep arresting until the can no longer stand it.
Coming tonight: Free wood shampoos and sidewalk sandwiches!
I think you meant to post that to someone else. And it’s “you’re.”
Governor Greitens promised the national guard would protect property.
Where are they ?
Actually, it’s Y’reall... or something like that.
Where’s the National Guard? Missouri now has a Republican governor, who’s a former Navy SEAL no less. He should know better.
