ST. LOUIS -- The locations of demonstrators who descended on the St. Louis area over the weekend to push for national reforms regarding police brutality led to some heated confrontations with area residents.

The "weekend of resistance" known as "Ferguson October" was in response to the death of unarmed black teenager Michael Brown, who was shot by Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson while walking down the middle of a street in the St. Louis suburb in August. Protesters, who are calling for Wilson's arrest, spread out across the region, organizing protests in venues ranging from public buildings and a university to gas stations, casinos and even a political fundraiser.

Plenty of residents in the St. Louis area didn't want them there, and many weren't afraid to make that known. One man, who claimed to be a St. Louis police officer, threatened to "[expletive] up" a woman outside the Rams football game on Monday night, according to MSNBC's Trymaine Lee. (Schron Y. Jackson, a spokesman for the Metropolitan Police Department in St. Louis, said the man in the video "is not a St. Louis Police officer.") A young boy, whom many on social media identified as his son, eventually pushed him away from the crowd as the man yelled "Saint Louis PD, baby!"(continued)

They aren’t creating any public sympathy, so they are trying to justify their hate by making others hate them back.

The Fergies need to MoveOn. Their “gentle giant” is dead and their 15 minutes are up. Time to do the old “healing process” thing.

The black Ferguson residents who were peaceably protesting have been replaced by violent white middle-class trustafarians from Chicago, Kansas City, Minneapolis, and Memphis.

IT will have to boil down to the residents getting rid of the protestors(aka commie/muslim anarchists) because the President and the MSM have the police hamstrung.

I heard on the local news agitators from Memphis heading towards Ferguson. Guess they are ok with the mobs of Black youths attacking whites and now other blacks here so they cant be bothered to protest black mob violence in their own city.

I think we need to start treating this scum the same way we would treat any other parasitic infestation.

Oh, they’re keeping a small veneer of the more radical and disgruntled blacks and bringing in Palestinians, anarchists, Occupy types, NOI, every NGO in the Western World, ACORN, communists, socialists, Maoists, LaRaza, Black Panthers, etc.

“Time to do the old “healing process” thing.”

I bet the schemers are already planning for a Ferguson Truth and Reconciliation Commission.

Look at the bright side: while they are protesting (semi)peacefully in some other part of town, nothing is burning or being looted in Ferguson. All things considered, in the land of the lowest common denominator, this is an improvement.

Yep. It’s all about motivating the black vote for the coming elections.

at the end of the article.

What the 'ell is it? Should we nuke it from space to make sure it doesn't propagate?

Watch the paid community organizers that are choreographing the protests funding dry up after the elections.

they’re forcing the silent majority to speak up with their antagonism.

Good, It’s time for people to stop giving thug worshipping communists and whitey hating criminals a pass.

Time for people to choose a side instead of burying their heads in the sand till it goes away (it’s not going to)

They are converting this town into Oakland, CA, where every day is a “Protest Day”. Every Day is police brutality day.

I am no fan of our modern police forces. I also know if I don’t want to get shot by a police officer I don’t try to steal his gun or shoot at him.

What is so hard for these protestors to understand?

Maybe, but the thugs will lose in the end.

Perpetual rage isn’t going to last. Good citizens aren’t going to put up with it.
