Ferguson Protests Organized by Left-Wing Groups

Protesters from around the country gathered in St. Louis, Missouri over the weekend to demand the arrest of Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson over his involvement in the August 9 shooting and killing of 18-year-old Mike Brown, while a grand jury deliberates on whether to charge him.

Unlike the protests in August, which evolved into violent stand offs with local law enforcement, as well as looting and destruction of private property, attendees at the four-day “Weekend of Resistance” this week stuck to marching late into the evenings, shouting at law enforcement, and basic civil disobedience. By the end of the August unrest, 155 people were arrested, usually for the charge of “refusing to disperse.”

What changed between August and October?

The images of police suited up in military-looking SWAT gear and vehicles with mounted ear piercing LRAD sound cannons were not in sight, but officers reportedly had such capability on standby. Flash grenades are not being set off, and tear gas canisters are rarely being launched into protest crowds.
