10. Cornel West, DeRay McKesson, Netta and other BLM activists were arrested earlier

Stenger, a Democrat, issued a State of Emergency so the National Guard could get deployed. Drones, indiscriminate macing, snatching people off the street for arrests... all going down now. Netta's arrest was brutal. And just a few minutes ago,
the police arrested a 12 year old girl

A state of emergency has been declared in Ferguson.

Before his arrest, Deray posted scenes from the latest Ferguson protests and warned that “The officers at the DOJ have threatened to use chemical agents on protesters.”

12. You are old eough to remember the CNN split screen with Bush Senior

I have both the streams from the LA event and this. I am having that flashback

[Catherina]

13. I'm having a hard time juggling them all right now

and having a weird flashback too. But it has to be done.

[nadinbrzezinski]

16. Well Bernie is over

Gad, did I just entered though the looking glass into a Kafka novel?

[nadinbrzezinski]

11. hundreds of protesters folks

Andrew Westmoreland ‏@drewwest_press 1m1 minute ago
Several hundred protesters in #Ferguson right now. Spirited crowds but calm. Riot police are on site.

[nadinbrzezinski]

14. Give me a sec, now that the other event is over

to find out what is going on fully in Ferguson

[BillZBubb]

15. I read a recent newspaper article about how much Ferguson has changed.

Evidently it hasn't changed all that much. I hope the protesters stay safe.

[nadinbrzezinski]

17. Some of the reforms where not ennaced into law

that is part of the problem, now let me catch the twitter

[nadinbrzezinski]

18. This is how weird this is

I have spent many a nights watching these streams... this sergeant



it is almost as if I know him by now, and not in a good way.

[ibegurpard]

19. kick

What kind of media coverage is this getting? I mean what's the slant on it?

[octoberlib]

20. I don't think much has changed.

deray mckesson ‏@deray 8m8 minutes ago
The police are advancing down W. Florissant towards Canfield en masse and we don't know why. It's intense and odd.

[nadinbrzezinski]

21. This is truly institutional, and has to be changed at that level

[nadinbrzezinski]

22. It is, really it is

I think we need a good ol' national guard deployment under federal orders, to take over, and to get all these PDs dismantled. And that is just for starters.

[nadinbrzezinski]

23. Ok took a tad, but here is a more or less coherent story

I will stay up, until I s'pose I collapse, I fear tomorrow will be anther day of scanner in the background.
