Police clashed with protesters in Ferguson, Missouri, on Wednesday as demonstrations have resumed over the police-involved, fatal shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown. Multiple arrests were made, though it was unclear how many, St. Louis Post-Dispatch reporter Joel Currier reported.
The community appears to be growing impatient as Ferguson officer Darren Wilson waits to find out whether or not he will be indicted by a grand jury in Brown’s death. Some in the community are vowing only a conviction will satisfy protesters.
“If (Darren Wilson) doesn’t get a guilty conviction, this whole nation is going to riot.” St. Louis resident Whitman Harris told Currier.

Activist Eric Vickers also told the reporter that demonstrators plan to “shut down” the highway in Ferguson. At least 10 protesters were arrested after they unsuccessfully attempted to block Interstate 70, the LA Times reports.
CNN has video of police preventing the protesters from illegally blocking traffic:

Earlier on Wednesday, a brick was reportedly thrown at police, causing a “skirmish” at a gas station.

FWIW, I believe there is a relatively small, dishonest leadership group which knows perfectly well what the issues are, but doesn't care, and then a rabble of clueless demonstrators who are just braying with the pack.
The guy with the camera looks like he is on the wrong side! Silly man!
And yet they couldn't get more that a hundred or so people to show up at their protest. My understanding was that they wanted to block I-70 and all they could do was shut off an off-ramp.
That means holders people will tear apart their neighborhoods.
I don’t go to there hoods anyway.
Let em burn.
Just as Obama and Holder planned - the blood will be on their hands.
Let’s try, “Racist Lynch Mob In Ferguson”.
"Lets loot all the stores and burn down the neighborhood to teach Whitey a lesson!"
Riot on my block and they would WISH for the police to intervene.
“If (Darren Wilson) doesn’t get a guilty conviction, this whole nation is going to riot.”.......
Ther’s going to be a lot of dead blacks all over this country when/if they do. (Just saying)
“The Gibs-Me-Dats are so conditioned to getting what they want by whining and playing the race card that they now think they can “loot” the Justice process.”....
They are DOMESTIC TERROISTS!
The sad thing is that they have the black, racist US Attorney General helping them to do just that.........
He is AIDING TERROISTS! (More reason for his upcoming prison term)
I have doubt that the truth can be determined in a MO court with its judges, lawyers, and jurors.
Riot? Please say no, please, please?
They bring their racist thug mob down my street on some anti-white pogram I’ll smoke the lot of them.
Well, duh...
Those flat-screen TV sets and cases of liquor aren't going to loot themselves, now, are they?
Using the term “Gibs me dats” is hilarious but so appropriate to their low-brow mentality.
These people aren’t interested in justice, they are a mob demanding a lynching - and they completely miss the irony.
1st one I waw was Watts.
The 1st riot there was nuts. Fools burned nearly every business in their own hood. Where ya gonna get food or colt 45 after ya take out the stores?
And if Wilson is convicted they’ll riot out of joy! That’s what these animals do. It’s about getting free sh&&. Nothing else.
Seriously are none of these people employed?
Hey, I’m all for it, as long as they stick to destroying their own hoods. The only problem is, the rest of us will have more money stolen by the fedgov to pour into the black holes, or to give them for “section 8” so they can spread the crime and filth around.
