I swear these people are beginning to sound like jihadis! Local news also reported this evening there was to be a large group 1000+ protesting tonight in Ferguson but it has been raining up there. Thank you Jesus!
Is it ever going to end
(My demand: Immediate DE-escalation of crime in N. St. Louis)

ST. LOUIS (KMOV.com) – Marchers gathered outside of City Hall in St. Louis Tuesday to march to the U.S. Attorney’s Office downtown as part of the #HandsUp Global Day of Action.
The marchers were seeking justice for Mike Brown and Kajieme Powell, both young unarmed black men killed by police earlier in the month.
Residents from Ferguson and the St. Louis area demanded accountability for abuses carried out by St. Louis City Police while deployed in Ferguson. The marchers also demanded individuals who participated in the protests in Ferguson who are still held in jail be released immediately.
The group marched to U.S. Attorney Richard Callahan’s office in hopes of pushing the Department of Justice to implement a nationwide investigation into police brutality and harassment in black communities.
Here is a list of their demands.:
DEMANDS
The murder of Michael Brown and its aftermath have exposed the ongoing crisis of police-on-black crime. As we work toward justice for the Brown family, we must also address the ongoing systemic problems of police practices in black, brown and all oppressed communities. We come together as diverse organizations to speak with one voice, so that the greater St. Louis area can become a model for justice for all across the United States.
Local Demands
1. Obama to come to Ferguson to meet with the people whose human rights have been violated by aggressive and militarized policing, including the family of the victim – Michael Brown.
2. Eric Holder to use the full resources and power of the Department of Justice to implement a nationwide investigation of systematic police brutality and harassment in black and brown communities.
3. Ensure transparency, accountability, and safety of our communities by requiring front facing cameras in police departments with records of racial disparities in stops, arrests, killings, and excessive force complaints.
4. Immediate suspension without pay of law enforcement officers that have used or approved excessive use of force. Additionally, their names and policing history should be made available to the public.
**This is a reflection of the local demands as expressed by local organizations leading on the ground in Ferguson, such as Organization for Black Struggle, Missourians Organizing for Reform and Empowerment, and others. The National Demands reflect demands developed by organizations such as Freedom Side, Dream Defenders and Color of Change.
