... or so I gather from The Nation's Steven Hsieh's article "St. Louis Police Arrest Nine Protesters Demanding Justice for Michael Brown". Among the nine arrested... a 90-year-old woman, wearing a T-shirt captioned "Only Human". That's more than you can say of those St. Louis cops. Oh, and the charge? "Failure to disperse." It's kind of hard... indeed, impossible... to protest when you're dispersed.
AFTERTHOUGHT: the protesters' demand was that Gov. Nixon withdraw the 1000 National Guard troops from Ferguson. A state's National Guard is a military organization, not a police force. Draw your own conclusions.
