Ferguson Protesters March Inside St. Louis County Police Department
After 70 days of protests, Ferguson demonstrators gathered outside the St. Louis County Police Headquarters in Clayton Wednesday afternoon, saying they came to express their democratic voice on the, “National Day Against Police Brutality.”
Leaks were reported in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and the New York Times from the officer who shot down unarmed teenager Michael Brown,.
The attorney representing the Brown family responded to the leaks. “We are not surprised by the information leaked last night by the St. Louis Medical Examiner’s office. Several independent witnesses indicated there was a brief altercation between Michael Brown and Officer Wilson at the patrol car,” Benjamin Crump stated. “What we want to know is why Officer Wilson shot Michael Brown multiple times and killed him even though he was more than 20 feet away from his patrol car; this is the crux of the matter!”
After protesters met outside the police station, they went inside. One officer was spotted filming the protesters.

This guy wasn’t too happy about Allison Blood reporting on the protest.

Protestors leaving now. Say they’re headed to Canfield where Brown was shot for a vigil. — Allison Blood (@AllisonBlood) October 22, 2014
Now officers say Chief will talk to one spokesperson. Protestors say no, he needs to come talk to everyone

Officers are telling protestors to leave the building. Protestors say “why? This is a public building.” — Allison Blood (@AllisonBlood) October 22, 2014

About those leaks:
Eric Holder is “exasperated” by “selective leaks” in the Darren Wilson case, a DOJ official tells me. #Ferguson
— Ryan J. Reilly (@ryanjreilly) October 23, 2014
Holder told DOJ lawyers he thinks it fits into pattern that began with release of convenience store video in mid-August.

As for the officer filming the protesters, they filmed him, too:

Thanks for the heads up. I wrote it at 4:00 a.m., not that I don’t make typos in the afternoon, too.
You’re the best!

I can do that in the middle of the day.

Lady dropped a “P” in her sign. :( Will this be the “Morans” meme of the future?

I watched Lawrence ODonnell interview the forensic pathologist where the the St. Louis Dispatch release her report, it seem it was taken out of context. This whole thing seems to be nothing more than the local media and police being in-cahoots. Nothing short of finding Michael Brown guilty postmortem will suffice for these official crooks.

you seem to ignore a lot of facts. That kid just robbed a store owner and refused to get out of the street like he was told to.

There is video proof to the contrary, showing him paying for the cigarillos.
Also, are we not allowed in the streets to cross them?

then there should be a 911 call for the robbery – BEFORE – the shooting of Michael Brown…?

Randy Weaver and David Koresh also broke the law and unlike Michael Brown, made an explicit decision to resist law enforcement using deadly force.
In both cases, Weaver and Koresh were seen as the victims of overzealous law enforcement. So what possible difference could there be? Oh yeah, Weaver and Koresh were white

such shenanigans as this does put the entire judicial system into question. Especially for those who have suffered injustices in the past. When members of the German 3rd Reich were the ‘police’ force in France, they had the [legal] authority to shoot jaywalkers also. One of the reasons the signs “VIVA RESISTANCE” started popping up everywhere. (of course, they didn’t march inside the offices to protest though).
