(Please click see more, there is links on how to help those part of/help the Ferguson Anti-Police Demonstrations.) Protesters in Ferguson, Mo., are taking to the streets to show their anger about the shooting of an unarmed black teenager named Mike Brown. St. Louis alderman Antonio French, whose tweets we featured in our earlier post, says tensions are rising this evening, and the situation is becoming more volatile. His description of the Vine video above says, “People are blocking police and fire trucks from entering the area. Reportedly answering a call for a heart attack.” _________________________________________________________ Police shot and killed unarmed 18-year-old Michael Brown on Saturday in the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson, triggering protests and then a police crackdown in which authorities fired tear gas and rubber bullets and arrested reporters, sparking complaints led by President Barack Obama. Browns death and the subsequent action by a mainly white police force in a majority black town led to allegations of racism and stirred comparisons with the February 2012 fatal shooting of unarmed teenager Trayvon Martin in Florida by a member of a civilian neighborhood security patrol. Earlier in the day, Obama called for peace and calm, adding authorities had a responsibility to be open and transparent. Now is the time for peace and calm on the streets of Ferguson, Obama said. Now is the time for an open and transparent process to see that justice is done. He said there was no excuse for both those engaged in anti-police riots and for police who used excessive force against peaceful protesters. __________________________________________________________________ Links: video showing police open fire on Ferguson’s peaceful protesters: https://youtube/watch?v=GO1SKC6dK7o video giving an “on the ground” look on the situation: https://youtube/watch?v=jiZZu7F_L9Q Veterans on Ferguson: https://storify/AthertonKD/veterans-on-ferguson Real News: journolist.tumblr/post/94563772619/michael-brown-remembered-as-a-gentle-giant-st HOW YOU CAN HELP: Bail and legal fund for those arrested during Ferguson Anti-Police Demonstrations: antistatestl.noblogs.org/post/2014/08/11/bail-and-legal-fund-for-those-arrested-during-ferguson-anti-police-demonstrations/ Twitter user currently giving information on how to volunteer to help: https://twitter/Jewles How to make a homemade tear gas mask: black-culture.tumblr/post/94529711883/hey-guys-i-need-your-help-spreading-this-on-social
