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.

The Press Club of Metropolitan St. Louis on Monday condemned the treatment of all journalists covering the Ferguson crisis.
"We strongly condemn the manhandling and disrespect shown to our colleagues by authorities during the unfolding crisis in Ferguson, Mo.," the group said in a statement. "We believe these actions should cease, and that those responsible for maintaining order in Ferguson establish and enforce rules to assure the safety of our journalistic colleagues."

I’m watching the police line feed but I didn’t see a molotov, I did hear what I think were two bottles hitting the road, dull pop sounds but no flames.
Natl guard is tasked only with securing the command post. they are out of sight and out of mind
GIve us a link. Anything would be better than this lisp mouthed doper diaper anarchist that is narrating the feed I’m watching.
Kudos to the dudes and that black alderman for pushing the agitators back. That situation was getting ready to go hot. I notice now that most of the other side are media wannabes and hipsters.
You bet the FBI is there, the traitorous government is doing anything possible to keep this hot
Police arming up, gas masks going on.
Probably not enough.
The police cars and mraps have headed further down the street.
The ‘organizer’ is asking the crowd to go home now.
Absolute madness.
It’s not about Brown,or the police,or peace and justice anymore-——it’s just a bunch of troublemakers stirring things up and performing for the cameras.

When a group’s “protests” consistently devolve into rioting/looting, when do you lose your 1A right to “protest?”
It’s a tough question.

The cops have been asking people to get on the sidewalk.
They are now arresting those who didn’t listen.
