No federal grand jury is planned. Callahan expects the outcome of the federal probe to be announced before U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder steps down.

Today:
Court hearing set for Monday on protest zone in Ferguson

Demonstrators say an area set up as a protest assembly zone is too far from where the media is allowed from the symbolic center of demonstrations at the former quick trip convenience station.

August 14:
ACLU sues to obtain Mike Brown shooting report; sues over recording issue

The suit asks a St. Louis County judge to order the release of the records. They also ask for attorneys fees and costs and a civil penalty for the violation of the law.

The ACLU said Wednesday that they'd made a similar request of Ferguson, but had not yet received a response.

Also today, the ACLU filed a separate federal lawsuit against St. Louis County, Ferguson and Highway Patrol Superintendent Ronald Replogle, seeking to bar them from trying to prevent the news media and public from recording law enforcement actions.

Plaintiff Mustafa Hussein was identified by the ACLU as a journalist with the Argus Media Group.

A judge approved the request by county prosecutors Monday in a case involving a drug suspect arrested in 2013 by officer Darren Wilson. The man's attorney wants the drug distribution charge dismissed because he doesn't expect Wilson, who did not attend the hearing, to show up in court.

JUST HIT NATIONAL NEWS

Wilson received a Ferguson City Council commendation for his role in Christopher Brooks' arrest. But defense attorney Nick Zotos said his client was "roughed up" by Wilson and also questioned whether his actions merited special recognition.

Reported 9/5


Officer Darren Wilson arrested Christopher Brooks on Feb. 28, 2013, after catching him and another man allegedly packaging marijuana to sell while sitting in a car in Brooks’ grandmother’s driveway.

The officer took control of Brooks’ wrist and arm, but he “was resisting all control and refused to follow all commands given,” Wilson wrote. The officer called for backup because he said the situation was “growing increasing hostile.”

“In recognition of outstanding police work while investigating a suspicious vehicle call,” Jackson told a packed city council chamber seven months ago. “Acting alone you struggled with one subject and was able to gain control of the subject and his car keys until assistance arrived.”

Update: Just got #Ferguson police report of attempted molotov cocktail attack on #FaraciPizza on Sunday. bit.ly/1pm2u5Q
https://twitter.com/D_Towski/status/516635885530382336

We interviewed Dawne Marshall Sunday night. A few hours before she'd discovered three scorched patches of sidewalk and broken glass outside the store, the result of what she believes were Molotov cocktails that rolled off the restaurant's sloped roof.

"Well they started surrounding him. I'm sure there were cuss words thrown back and forth, and when we finally got my husband back in here they were all at my windows, pointing at my husband and saying, 'We're going to get you.'"

On Saturday the restaurant received a flood of fake pizza orders over the phone.

The social media attacks on Faraci Pizza continued over the weekend.

Long two story article with pictures here:

From police report at link:

The bottles were located on the southwest corner. the bottles were both charred as if they were set on fire, and had paper wick located inside of the neck of one of the bottles. The ground where the bottles had been smashed was completely charred as if it was on fire at some point.

Only one of those arrested was from Ferguson; the others were from elsewhere in the St. Louis metropolitan area. Three were from St. Louis, one was from Richmond Heights, one was from Florissant, one was from Bridgeton and one was homeless, he said.

"Wilson is compromised as a witness," said defense attorney Nick Zotos, who opposed the request by Prosecuting Attorney Robert McCulloch's office to shift the drug case to a panel that meets behind closed doors.

The assistant prosecutor, who did not publicly identify himself in court, did not indicate during Brooks' hearing why the county wants to shift the case to the grand jury. A McCulloch spokesman said later that he was not familiar with the case.

The suit seeks a permanent injunction from U.S.District Judge Catherine Perry, which would prohibit police from enforcing such a rule.

Lawyers for the defendants, St. Louis County and the Missouri Highway Patrol, were expected to present their side later this afternoon, beginning with testimony from county Police Chief Jon Belmar.

The plaintiff is Mustafa Abdullah, an ACLU worker who attended the protests to advise people of their rights and to act as a legal observer.

Officials set up a free speech zone on the south end of West Florissant, where protesters would be able to lawfully congregate.
