FERGUSON, MO (KTVI) – Demonstrators plan to block a major highway in St. Louis on Wednesday afternoon. They are seeking justice for the police shooting death of Michael Brown. They plan to shut down I-70 at Hanley road at 4:30pm. A rally is set to begin at 3pm.

Brown was shot to death by Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson on August 9th. A Grand Jury is currently considering charges. St. Louis County Prosecutor Bob McCulloch is presenting the case. The goal of the I-70 shut down is to get a special prosecutor appointed to take over the case.

Well, if the GOOD people of St Louis will tolerate the bad behavior, so be it.

We're not tolerating it. A severe thunderstorm is on it's way.

Well, if they are serious, they'll be out in it.

Bricks and bottles and being thrown at the police again. Heavy sigh.

They're not even in Ferguson.

The link I posted shows live tweets.

lol The last time it rained on them, they disappeared.

yeah well that makes sense. I don't agree with the reasoning or the what but if they want to protest peacefully they have the right.

This isn't what I'd consider peaceful though

?!?

Could a few of you "GOOD people of St Louis" who can control the weather form a contingency, come to California and make some rain for us?!?

Thanks!!!

huge fail

might be able to take up arms on public land, but you cant block a public accessway,,lol

FERGUSON, MO (KTVI) – Demonstrators fail to block a major highway during rush hour in St. Louis on Wednesday afternoon. They are seeking justice for the police shooting death of Michael Brown.

Police stopped the protester’s efforts to shut down I-70 They formed a line and met activists on Hanley road. Traffic was blocked on Hanley road while police met with activists. There have been over a dozen arrests at this point.

Organizers of the protest have told demonstrators to move to Ferguson City Hall. They planned to shut down I-70 at Hanley road at 4:30pm.

Brown was shot to death by Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson on August 9th. A Grand Jury is currently considering charges. St. Louis County Prosecutor Bob McCulloch is presenting the case. The goal of the I-70 shut down is to get a special prosecutor appointed to take over the case.






I don't personally agree with taking up arms on public land or obstructing access to highways,,


better idea to take it to city hall , that would be a more legal way to hold a protest,,,

I'll get to work on that right away.

I agree, MsHarmony.

They want Prosecutor Bob McCulloch to be replaced by someone else for this case. What's interesting is that the people of St. Louis County voted for McCulloch.

Blocking a highway and throwing bricks and rocks at police officers isn't my idea of a peaceful protest either.
