You go Professor West ! Cornel West Arrested In Ferguson For Protesting Via HuffPo reports: Author and activist Cornel West was arrested while demonstrating in Ferguson, Missouri , on Monday. West was in Ferguson as part of the “Ferguson October” rally, which has been attended by over 1,000 protesters. Journalists in Ferguson tweeted photos of the incident Monday afternoon. West had joined peaceful demonstrations at St. Louis University on Sunday night. Hours earlier, during a large mass protest service, West said that he came to get arrested. “It’s a beautiful thing to see people on fire for justice, but I didn’t come here to give a speech,” West said during a discussion on Sunday night. “I came here to go to jail.” It is so clear now more then ever, Ferguson is only the “tip of the iceberg.” Policing all over the United States is out of control. Police departments have devolved into little more than well-armed gangs out to terrorize the people and shake them down. Black lives matter!

Lt. Ray Albers, 46, stepped down from the St. Ann police department on Thursday, the St. Louis Dispatch reported. The resignation comes just a little over a week after The Huffington Post and other outlets confirmed Albers’ identity in footage of the officer threatening civilians protesting the death of Michael Brown. “I will fucking kill you!” Albers shouts on video, his weapon pointed at unarmed protesters. When asked his name, Albers can be heard telling the protester: “Go fuck yourself.” Albers, who served in the military, was a 20-year veteran of the department. In an earlier interview with The Huffington Post, St. Ann Police Chief Aaron Jimenez said he was “highly angry and upset” at Albers’ choice of words, but defended the officer’s use of raising his weapon in the air. Good riddance. Image via YouTube
