Prominent activist Cornel West has been handcuffed during demonstrations in Ferguson, Missouri, according to Fusion and reporters on Twitter.

West was also seen at protests Sunday night.

Los Angeles Times reporter Matt Pearce wrote on Twitter that West was joined by clergy in a march to the Ferguson police station on Monday.

The demonstration, Pearce wrote, was "highly coordinated" with "organizers clearing paths, sending clergy in waves … willing to get arrested."

Protesters planned a "day of action" Monday, demanding the arrest of the police officer who shot unarmed black teenager Michael Brown.

West was reportedly handcuffed Monday afternoon and is presumed arrested:

Looks like a pretty sparse turnout...

Temps below 70 degrees F combined with drizzle tend to harsh the social justice buzz.

Years from now, we will still be hearing about Ferguson Missouri as if it were a 1960s civil rights type event.
Similar "elevation" and obfuscation of the truth already happened in Rochester, NY.
In 1964, a city-dwelling thug resisted arrest for public intox ... a fight ensued, more thugs joined in and it turned into a full blown riot.
Flash forward 50 years and the local Gannet rag (which is VERY racist), now speaks of the thugs as heroes, victims and only a half step removed from MLK sainthood.

Yep, the truth doesn’t matter. One of theirs was killed and all they want is revenge. I suppose it’s racist to say this is a tribal rather than a western culture. It is? OK, I won’t say it then.

Yes, and that goes with my theory that the grand jury will wait to release its verdict until mid-January. Let’s call it “winter’s cleansing broom” that will clear the streets of all the debris.

You will notice that the only time they wail like banshees is when a Black is killed by a White. When a Black is killed by another Black or a White is killed by a Black, they are as quiet as a whore in church.

Norwood Hills Country Club borders Ferguson, but if you want a good beer, Ferguson Brewing Company just down the street from the police station has several excellent beers. My brother likes the Pecan Ale. I prefer their Hefeweizen. They also have a restaurant that serves excellent food at reasonable prices. I pray that the anarchists don’t ruin their business.

I hear ya. Loo not further than Huey Newton and the Black Panthers, now heralded as such great citizens.

These rewrites are audacious.

These are the type of folk that believe that trayvon martin was innocent. They are not ignorant. They are stupid.

The reason they keep getting riled up in cases where a thug gets shot rather than a law abiding black man gets shot is simple. When the guy is law abiding black man shot by a “bad” cop, the law does it’s job, as in the case of the black guy going into his car for his wallet and being shot by the police officer.

Nothing to protest there. The cop’s in big trouble.

This is why they always seem to be fighting the wrong fight: They are. It makes them look racist and stupid.

Lock this old marxist jerk up and throw away the key. The world would be a better place without his hate.
