Prominent activist Cornel West has been handcuffed during demonstrations in Ferguson, Missouri, according to Fusion and reporters on Twitter.
West was also seen at protests Sunday night.
Los Angeles Times reporter Matt Pearce wrote on Twitter that West was joined by clergy in a march to the Ferguson police station on Monday.
The demonstration, Pearce wrote, was "highly coordinated" with "organizers clearing paths, sending clergy in waves … willing to get arrested."
Protesters planned a "day of action" Monday, demanding the arrest of the police officer who shot unarmed black teenager Michael Brown.
West was reportedly handcuffed Monday afternoon and is presumed arrested:

Years from now, we will still be hearing about Ferguson Missouri as if it were a 1960s civil rights type event.
It wasn’t.
A common thug met with a common ending for thugs.

I hope that he was. He should be charged with inciting a riot.

For a minute, I figured the headline has misspelled Colonel, and was referring to another West, LOL.

Corndog West went there TO get arrested.
BTW, Corndog West despises Obama.
Corndog West is no relation to American hero Allen West.

The truth? Like in the George Zimmerman case. Very few are interested in the truth. The narrative put out by the media was that Zimmerman stalked, chased down and executed Martin. That to them is the truth. And as far as the Ferguson incident goes, the media again put out the story that a policeman shot an unarmed Black youth, while his hands were in the air, in the back numerous times for no reason. A Black youth that was a pillar in his community. An aspiring neurosurgeon, A potential discover of a cure for cancer, the alboa virus, AlS and who knows what else.

If Corny would just invite these “gentle giants” over to his house to let them steal his thing, they wouldn’t get shot. It’s his fault that the “gentle giant” got shot. (A little liberal “logic” there).

Some “September Tenth” activist trying to remain relevant in a world in which he isn’t...but any publicity is better than none at all...
