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.

Press Club condemns treatment of journalists in Ferguson
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."

Police kept protesters on the move Monday night, telling anyone who stopped in a parking lot or street to keep moving.

Looks like FOX 2 either ran off, or just doesn’t want us to see what’s going on at the Dollar Store.
Things getting calmer at the McDonald’s location.
Don’t these people have jobs? Where do they have all this time to protest?
Thanks to both of you.
KSDK is right there and nothing is going on - more calm
It looks like it has calmed down for now, but the ‘organizers’ are asking everyone to come back tomorrow.
Wonder if the Media will start bringing in their “A” string reporters ?
I would love to know what they have in mind for an end game. What do they hope to actually accomplish?
Oops. That was short-lived.
“A” string reporters
What is that? - I have noticed that local media has been bringing in new reporters that are black, many that have never been seen before. They were always behind the scene reporters.
Yeah, their job is too mooch off of you and protest.
“What do they hope to actually accomplish?”
Simply act like thugs. These are people who don’t want to do anything productive. If they really wanted to make a statement and create change; they would all go get college degrees or start businesses. But that takes work.
At bottom, Ferguson is a GOTV effort by the Democrat Party.
gas time down by the QT they burned down
I want to see all of the protesters do jail time when the truth of this incident comes out. Every single man, woman and child of them.
THAT ^^ will NEVER happen. Remember the thug protesters at WI courthouse? And, the teachers getting *Drs* notes to excuse them from skipping out on their classrooms, to protest? What happened to them?
There’s no doubt. I think they want this nationwide.
small fire in street down where the tear gas was let off
I have a feeling that %99 percent of them have no accomplishment in mind whatsoever.
Well... maybe looking for chicks, getting their face on the news, throwing feces, doing drugs, looting, staying out of the house which has no AC.
FERALS and 5th columnists setting up barricades. Looks like the fun is about to begin. Want all this to stop? Shoot anyone throwing Molotov cocktails. Shoot anyone setting up barricades. Snipe the white, anarchist leaders first. Then it will stop.
“A” string. You know, like Katie Couric, Jerry Rivers, etc.
