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.

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....

Yes, when you go out to riot, you should always carry items such as snacks, crackers, a frozen whole chicken, water, matches, or lighters...Stuff like that.
TY!
Moochelle will think this is fabulous-lol
losing weight - while rioting!
As long as it takes for what, Carmelita?
Another protester, Allysha Hamber, 42, asked how her sons can stand fight for America, "but I can't stand on sidewalk and protest?"
Because you are blocking a pathway, which should be obvious. Now what branch of the service were those sons in and when was their tour of duty?
VISTA and AmeriCorps, the Ozarks and Compton.
The more the REAL truth gets out the smaller the crowds become.
LIVE VIDEO . IT’s getting bad again.

The instigator is a WHITE GUY, inciting the crowd to riot.
the Peacekeepers and clergy are trying to keep them moving but they’re starting to bunch up
The police have moved back in and are telling the crowd to disperse.
They are not listening at all.
bottles thrown - clerics and peacekeepers yelling no more throwing bottles
crowd forming a line to counter police line - being warned off - clergy and others trying to get people back
police department issuing a dispersal order
Is this the live thread? It is going down now in front of the Family Dollar
This seems like a Pallywood Production.
The cops don’t have bullets, someone will get killed, the media will eat it up.
I wish the faggot on the live feed would shut his mouth.
The crowd is huge tonight.
I can see Mustaffa’s point - the crowd was still largely under control by their leaders, with reporters between police and protestors. Police issue a dispersal and then start the sound cannon. Same as last night. Talk about escallation.
Reports of molotov cocktails thrown at police, tear gas being ready for deployment. where is the national guard?
I’m watching on local news - FOX2
The national guard are on the roofs of businesses - I think they are using them as eyes mostly.
I guess Fagbama and his racist henchmen at the JustUS department told the guard to stand down.
This may be just one of several LIVE threads. I’m not sure.
they need to knock off that sound cannon until the military teaches them how to use the damn thing for something besides escallating the situation. I bet the Natl Guard is over by the command center laughing at them.
The leaders can’t communicate with their bullhorns to the crowd over the noise.
