Ferguson residents disrupt STL Co Council Meeting demanding Wilson's arrest

Angry residents essentially took over a St. Louis County Council meeting on Tuesday, condemning the police and calling for Ferguson officer Darren Wilson’s arrest in connection to the death of 18-year-old Michael Brown.
Protesters also renewed calls to remove the county prosecutor investigating the case.
Brown, who was black, was fatally shot Aug. 9 after a confrontation that began when Wilson asked Brown and a friend to walk on the sidewalk instead of the street. Police have said that Brown and Wilson became involved in a confrontation inside Wilson’s squad car. The confrontation then spilled onto the street, where Brown was shot multiple times.
The shooting led to protests and significant unrest in Ferguson and has spurred a national discussion about police treatment of African-Americans. In addition to a local grand jury investigation, the Justice Department is conducting separate investigations.
St. Louis Alderman Antonio French and others at the meeting provide a first-hand look at the anger, frustration and overall hostility that persists in the aftermath of the controversial shooting
A bunch of vine vids in the link
October ought to be one heck of a month for the city of STL. Maybe a Card's playoff run can hold it all together.

Antonio French seemed like one of the level-headed ones a few weeks back. Being level-headed doesn't pay, though.

I'm pissed that the municipal police are varying degrees of shitshow in STL county.

Why shouldn't they disrupt the meeting? They might be a bunch of low-life idiots, but even they have enough sense to know that, no matter what they do, they will be supported by the media and 95% of the fools on the Left.
