CLAYTON, Missouri -- Protesters seeking the immediate arrest of the white Ferguson police officer who fatally shot an unarmed black 18-year-old loudly disrupted another government meeting Tuesday. The group renewed calls to remove the county prosecutor investigating the case and vowed political retaliation against an elected official tied to the prosecutor.

The demand for officer Darren Wilson's arrest and the recusal of the St. Louis County prosecuting attorney began with the final utterance of the Pledge of Allegiance at the start of the St. Louis County Council meeting.

"For all," crowd members shouted, emphasizing the second word, as the pledge concluded with, "and justice for all."(continued)

I have been reading the comments on the various articles and commentaries on Ferguson. It seems to me there is a huge backlash against the black protesters on this. The number of comments supporting the white cop typically outnumber those who want him lynched and the color of the commentators indicate a strong disgust toward the protesters.

I do not recall such a strong reaction to the Zimmerman issue or any other alleged racist event.

Is it just me or do others see a sea change in white sentiment?
