St. Louis County jail show that the 78 people arrested Monday night included four from Ferguson and eight from neighboring Florissant. Another 10 came from the nearby city of St. Louis, and a smattering from other small towns in St. Louis County. Fifty-three in total were from the St. Louis metro area.
All but three of the arrests Monday night were for refusal to disperse. Two of the individuals charged with unlawful use of a weapon were from the St. Louis area.
One out-of-state resident, from Rockton, Ill., was charged with interfering with an officer
Eighteen of those arrested Monday night were from out of state. Those suspects came from Chicago, Brooklyn, N.Y., California, Washington, D.C., Austin, Texas, other parts of Illinois, Alabama, and Iowa.

Is “refusal to disperse” a crime? I can’t see how it should be. Interfering with a crime scene maybe, but the 1st Amendment should guarantee the right to protest. I am sure this has been tested before, most recently with all the 1% sit-ins etc. But many city mayors sided with the protestors for a long time, hoping the protest would wane which they mostly did... though the cities did eventually have to close some of the parks and disperse crowds under other pretexts (traffic, interference etc).
78 people and 4 were from Ferguson.
That cop was a liar! LMAO
It doesn’t matter if they’re from nearby cities. They don’t have a vested interest in Ferguson. They don’t shop there, own businesses there. They won’t have to deal with the destruction there.
Is this writer that freaking ignorant! No.
Misinformation 24/7/365...
Exactly. Only 4 came from the town. Most or the looting and demonstrating is coming from outsiders.
Folks here wanna see real spin?

“78 people arrested Monday night included four from Ferguson and eight from neighboring Florissant”
66 of 78 where “outsiders” - about 85%
ABC news is the one that reported photos showing George Zimmerman wasn’t bleeding. They purposely used poor grainy images.
Let’s see, 74 of 78 were not from Ferguson.
4 of 78 were from there.
So, 74 outsiders arrested and 4 residents arrested.
This proves to ABC that outsiders are not “causing trouble”.
Speaking of spin...
Ya see what was posted the other day?

Criminal Street gangs, or the Demoncratic National Party for that matter, don’t recognize borders douchebag.
You can read about it in the Communist Manifesto.
As to why he goes by the name, consider that Malcolm X was born Malcolm Little, but also known as El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz.
Amish fellas, the lot of them.

The ‘out of towners’ agitators crazy not the community spin is so we don’t hold the actual residents of that town responsible for the riots, looting, etc.
Douchebag referring to the original authors, dude, sorry.
Ferguson is basically a small suburb of St. Louis...See map.
The majority arrested were from the St. Louis area...
Something you and others will have to deal with.
Yep, ABC needs to hire some people that understand math.
Only 4 of the 78 where from Ferguson ....I guess “local”can mean anything when there is an agenda at play....hell compared to the globe....they were all locals.....sheesh
I don’t think Tea Partiers are clamoring too much to protest in Ferguson right now
If they’re from St. Louis, they’re local in my book. Ferguson is just a neighborhood of greater St Louis.
