    That's a lot better than looting.

    Next stop, prosecutors office. There is one man that is standing in the way of Wilson being arrested.
    Non-violence is the creed of those that maintain a monopoly on force.

    Protesters storm Jay Nixon’s office!

    Protesters tried to storm Governor Jay Nixon’s office today in downtown St. Louis.
    The guards would not let them in – security said they’re not here on “official business.”


    At least one person was arrested.

    Looks like some people have finally figured out how the political process works.
    There are no crimes against people.
    There are only crimes against the state.
    And the state will never, ever choose to hold accountable its agents, because a thing can not commit a crime against itself.

    OANN just had some footage. They aren't just protecting the sheriffs communication unit, they are patrolling the streets in APC's... it looks like a warzone.

    Soooooo much better than SWAT in APC's...

    16:57 GMT: UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon called on U.S. authorities on Monday to ensure the protection of the rights of protesters in Ferguson, Missouri, where there have been demonstrations and rioting over the fatal police shooting of an unarmed black teen.

    "The Secretary-General calls on the authorities to ensure that the rights to peaceful assembly and freedom of expression are protected," UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric told reporters.

    People need to be careful not to conflate the two issues. The shooting and protests on one side and the looting, violence, and attacks on the other. Sounds like the national guard needs to step in and stop the latter and too many people here are putting the two together as one issue.

    Just be careful that in the eager desire to fight this fight, you don't hitch your horse to the wrong wagon.

    I am more and more convinced that man is a dangerous creature and that power, whether vested in many or a few, is ever grasping, and like the grave, cries, 'Give, give.'

    The media is no help here. I cant tell you how many times I saw images off looters effected by tear gas outside convenience stores, and the reporters were referring to them as "protesters".

    I ran across a little more info on this fine lady.





    ....

    Among those arrested was Hedy Epstein, a 90-year-old Holocaust survivor who lives in St. Louis.

    “I’ve been doing this since I was a teenager. I didn’t think I would have to do it when I was 90,” Epstein told The Nation, as two officers walked her to a police van. “We need to stand up today so that people won’t have to do this when they’re 90.”

    Roughly 125 protesters marched to the entrance of the historic Wainwright Building, which houses Missouri Governor Jay Nixon’s downtown office. They demanded Nixon withdraw National Guard troops from Ferguson municipality, where peaceful protests throughout the week were disrupted by late night riots. The protesters also called for a special prosecutor to lead the investigation of Brown’s death, as well as an expansion of the Department of Justice’s existing investigation to look into patterns of civil rights violations across North St. Louis County.
