The movement is still going… Ferguson Protesters Threaten Rams Game Via DailyMail : The search for justice in Ferguson has spilled onto the football field as protesters say they plan to get into Edward Jones Dome and stop this weekend’s St. Louis Rams game. The threat was first revealed at a St. Louis County Council meeting Tuesday night. ‘It’s not going to be a fun day Sunday at your beautiful Rams game,’ one protester reportedly shouted. KMOX reports that St. Louis Police Chief Sam Dotson is doing whatever he can to stop those threats from becoming a reality. ‘We are having extra resources in the downtown area for this weekend to address any eventuality,’ he said. He said that if a peaceful demonstration was held he would not interfere, but if they go beyond that the police will shut them down. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that protestors at the meeting grew increasingly loud and angry, demanding that officer Darren Wilson, who shot and killed 18-year-old Michael Brown, be arrested and that County Prosecutor Robert McCullock be taken off the case, as well as calling for the resignations of both County Police Chief Jon Belmar and Ferguson Police Chief Thomas Jackson. Some speakers compared county officials to ‘war criminals’ or KKK members. ‘You are ISIS to black people,’ one said. Besides threatening this weekend’s game, protestors said they would disrupt grocery stores as well as hold an even bigger demonstration should the Cardinals make it to this year’s World Series. A video posted on YouTube titled ‘St. Louis Rams: No Justice, No Football,’ is even asking for donated tickets so more demonstrators can get into the game. ‘So all of those St. Louis Rams fans who love justice, I will ask you to contact me and to donate your St. Louis Rams tickets so protestors can get in the dome,’ says activist Umar Lee in the video. Hmmm….do you think this is a good plan? The police force and government officials in St. Louis are so smug about this situation…we wonder what it would truly take for them to concede to charging Mike Brown’s killer.
