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....

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

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.

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?

The police have moved back in and are telling the crowd to disperse.

They are not listening at all.

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.

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.

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.

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.
