#Ferguson protesters clear road after cops arrive. About 75 demonstrators gathered on sidewalk across from ferguson PD.

This poor African American officer...the verbal abuse he is receiving is just heartbreaking.

They do corroborate each other for the most part. Those that are dismissive tend to waiver between there stories are so inconsistent they must be lies to they are so consistent that Shahid must have coached them all. The reality is that no one of consequence is dismissing their testimony. Even if the GJ doesn't indict, I'd suggest they still wouldn't have been as dismissive.

And also dismissive that Jackson's changing stories, and inaccuracies mean anything at all.
Yet third hand reports from anonymous people are discussed as "fact". Interesting, IMHO.

You can hear some of the crowd jeering at the black officer for 'betraying his people' ----

I thought they said they wanted more black officers?

This poor African American officer...the verbal abuse he is receiving is just heartbreaking.

Hypocrites! It's heartbreaking for that poor man. At least HE is trying to make a living, support his family and do something HONORABLE! These people make me sick.

I think they want total anarchy.

I wonder how much all of this anarchy and shenanigans is costing the federal and state taxpayer? I hope MSM puts out some articles on the enormous costs of all this protest.

 

[Linda7NJ]

Some people on twitter are posting that some white guy hit a protester with his car. So take that FWIW.

Not to make light of it...but...that why it's a really STUPID idea to block traffic.

Did anyone see the driver that was supposedly arrested being taken into the station?

Most of cops depart with warning not to block S Florissant Road or face arrest. About 75 #Ferguson protestors remain on sidewalk.

Excuse my ignorance, theres a lot of threads to read through ... and i know that i sound like a broken record...

But its alil disturbing how so many of you are so dismissive of the accounts of tiffany mitchell and piaget chrensaw

Why?

Their stories moreso corroborate with djs account

[snipped for space....]
Most witnesses also attest to mb having his hands up before the last 4,5 fatal shots which is the universal sign of surrender

I cant see how anyone could argue ow was in fear of his or felt mb was a danger to others if these witnesses are to be believed

Its gonna be an uphill battle to convict ow because the law favors his profession but its far from an open and shut case

Go here and listen from 2:19:

She clearly said that he NEVER GOT HIS HANDS UP.

I believe the third hand report has been discussed because it was reported that it matches up with what Officer Wilson reported. Not that the report was correct, just that it matches. This is probably the third time I've corrected this error that keeps surfacing. It is a fact that this woman reported it, yes. Whether or not it can be verified is not known because we do not have OW's testimony. There is a difference.

Aww how cute. They got the little girls with their mini-bull horns....:facepalm:

It was especially cute when the little girl would shout "Who do we want" and the crowd would respond "Darren Wilson," and then the cute little girl would shout "How do we want him" and the crowd responds "Dead!"

Just as cute as can be.

"You WILL turn around for #MikeBrown" - protestors divert traffic in front of #Ferguson Police HQ

Steve Giegerich is a StL Post Dispatch reporter. Interested in how he tells this tale.

 

[TheDuchess]

OMG ....they have little girls chanting into megaphones.

 

[sonjay]

This is all too much. Cute little girls who should be playing with dolls calling for the death of a police officer.

I have to sign off and do something sane, like go fishing. Snook season is open again.

 

[katydid23]

Turning into chaos...someone getting arrested.

That is backpack guy, the one they tried to arrest earlier but the crowd protested. I think he was already arrested but they were trying to take him into the station. Dont they have private back areas to park and take suspects into station?
