As darkness fell Monday night, police increased their effort to keep protesters moving -- politely telling protesters they needed to keep moving.
One protester asked pointedly "Did they tell the people supporting the cop downtown to keep moving?" referring to a Sunday evening gathering in support of Officer Darren Wilson.
But the crowd, smaller than Sunday night, was staying on the sidewalk and obeying officers' orders to keep moving.
Carmelita Wiliams came from Dellwood to join the protests. She said she plans to be out for as many nights as it takes.
"If one person is left, I want to be with that person," she said.
Another protester, Allysha Hamber, 42, asked how her sons can stand fight for America, "but I can't stand on sidewalk and protest?"
In a related development, a federal judge Monday night denied a motion by the American Civil Liberties Union for a temporary restraining order to stop police from requiring people to keep moving on sidewalks and thoroughfares in Ferguson unless they're gathered in a designated protest area.

Bring out the water cannons and dogs
“No because they were not looting, shooting or throwing Molotov cocktails.”
Not a good excuse to break the rights of those that want to peacefully assemble. That’s nearly the same logic of banning guns.
