FERGUSON, Mo. — Demonstrators forced the temporary closing of the St. Louis Galleria mall after staging a mass “die-in” on Friday afternoon, lying on the floor for four and a half minutes In Oakland, Calif., a group of people protesting a grand jury’s decision not to indict the officer chained themselves to a train at a Bay Area Rapid Transit station, forcing officials to close the station and causing delays across the system.
And in San Francisco, Chicago, New York and Seattle, hundreds of demonstrators flocked to the streets and retail locations with chants like, “If we don’t get no justice, they don’t get no profits,” to disrupt Black Friday shopping in the hopes of highlighting issues of race, class and law enforcement that they believe the Brown case laid bare.
Waves of protests have popped up across the country after it was announced this week that a grand jury would not charge Officer Darren Wilson in the killing of Mr. Brown, who was 18 and unarmed. But it is far from clear whether such actions will build into anything that brings a sustained social movement.
Groups are divided by aim and by geography, with goals of justice for Mr. Brown or an end to lethal police force against minorities, but the path for achieving them is neither clear nor easy.
Certainly there is an array of new coalitions with names like Lost Voices and Tribe X, and across the country this week there were calls to hold police departments accountable and increase social media organizing campaigns. Many of the demonstrations had a distinctly local flavor.

Sounds like this has been organized by a bunch of snot-nosed student activists who think they know all the answers. Actually they DO know the answers, the trouble is these useful idiots don’t understand the questions.
Sounds to me like a bunch of losers.
Will Thugs #1 and #2 be in attendance? I mean, they should be in jail for perjury, but we know that’s never gonna happen.
Pinch at the NY Times is angry at Americans who voted against his wishes this month, so he will continue to flood his newspaper with Ferguson stories to take out his rage. The Times stock is structured so that his family has complete control, so there’s no board to reign in his Captain Queeg-like impulses that are destroying the paper.
It’s got to be tough on the simple minded people who want guns eliminated so only the police have guns, then they want the police disarmed and indicted. I wonder who they think will enforce the laws
It sounds like rats lobbying agains rat poison.

He was not unarmed. He had two arms with fists on the ends of both of them, and he used them.
