I hate being right most of the time:
"St. Louis protests swell over police shootings" by Alan Scher Zagier | Associated Press October 12, 2014
"Organizers said beforehand that they expected 6,000 to 10,000.... 1,000 people gathered.... may have approached as many as 2,000."
That's some swell.
ST. LOUIS — More than 1,000 people gathered Saturday for a second day of organized rallies to protest the death of Michael Brown and other fatal police shootings in the St. Louis region and beyond.
Marchers started assembling in the morning hours in downtown St. Louis, and the crowd became larger than the ones seen at Friday’s rallies.
The main focus of the march, which wended through downtown streets for several hours, was the recent police shootings of unarmed black males in Missouri, but participants also embraced such causes as gay rights and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Police officers were stationed around the area.
I wonder which side of it they were on, although I bet I instinctively know.
Tensions were evident early Saturday morning in Ferguson, the site of the Brown killing. Hundreds of protesters gathered outside the Ferguson Police Department in the aftermath of Friday’s demonstrations.
Some chanted, ‘‘Killer cops, KKK, how many kids did you kill today?’’ as a wall of about 100 officers in riot gear stood impassively.
I'm wondering the same about Obummer and his droning airstrikes all over the planet.
The four-day series of protests called Ferguson October began Friday afternoon with a march outside the St. Louis County prosecutor’s office in Clayton.
****************
Organizers said beforehand that they expected 6,000 to 10,000 participants for the weekend’s events. Police were not able to provide a crowd estimate Saturday, but organizers and participants suggested the march’s size may have approached as many as 2,000.
The attempt to fan up racial distraction has failed yet again, probably because it's all about cla$$ now. You know it, I know it, they know it.
After the initial march in Clayton, the demonstrations moved to Ferguson on Friday night as protesters stood inches from officers in riot gear before dispersing. Many then went to the neighborhood on St. Louis’s south side where a police shooting of another black 18-year-old occurred Wednesday night.
By 2 a.m. Saturday, St. Louis police had blocked a main road that crosses an interstate highway near Saint Louis University’s medical complex, but the heavy police restrictions didn’t keep hundreds more, including many newcomers from across the country who joined local residents, from marching in the streets....
I recognize controlled-opposition protest and coverage when I see it. Don't make the paper otherwise.

NEXT DAY UPDATES:
"Police arrest 17 in St. Louis at Brown shooting protests" by Jim Suhr | Associated Press October 13, 2014
ST. LOUIS — Officers arrested 17 protesters and used pepper spray to subdue some of them Sunday in a St. Louis neighborhood near the suburb where violence erupted this summer after the shooting of a black man by a white police officer.
The arrests were the only incident in an otherwise peaceful weekend of demonstrations.
The agenda-pushing, ma$$ media approve of these protests!
*****************
On Monday, a ‘‘direct action’’ led by local and visiting clergy members is planned for Ferguson and other spots across St. Louis. Protest leaders do not plan to release details until shortly before the event to avoid tipping off law enforcement.
In addition to protests, the summit includes teach-ins and panel discussions....
I'm tired of the debate of the campaign. Talk, talk, talk, talk, talk.
Leaders are taking their cues from the Moral Monday demonstrations that began last year in North Carolina before spreading to several other Southern states....
First I've seen of it I think. WTF?
Kareem Jackson, a St. Louis rap artist and community organizer whose stage name is Tef Poe, said, ‘‘We have not packed up our bags, we have not gone home. This is not a fly-by-night moment. This is not a made-for-TV revolution. This is real people standing up to a real problem and saying, ‘We ain’t taking it no more.’’’
Actually, it is because many protesters came from outside and went home, and TV actually is covering it. Thus, we see another agenda-pushing controlled agent cited in my paper!
A crowd that organizers estimated at 3,000 marched through downtown St. Louis on Saturday....
Oh, now out's up to 3,000, sigh.
The highly organized weekend protests brought many newcomers to St. Louis. The new arrivals included Vietnam-era peace activists, New York City seminarians, college students, and hundreds of fast-food workers from Chicago, Nashville, and other cities.
The participants sent an array of messages, in addition to concerns about excessive police force and heavy-handed police tactics nationwide. They included income inequality and race relations, voting rights, and immigration policy.
‘‘Ferguson October is our freedom summer’’ organizers said in a text message to supporters sent early Saturday.
Summer has been over for three weeks. How about freedom fall?
A coalition of local groups, including representatives of clergy, unions, educators, and youth, held meetings to prepare for the event, which leaders hope will sustain a movement against police brutality, said John Chasnoff, of the American Civil Liberties Union of Eastern Missouri.
Their success, planners said, depends on their ability to keep the demonstrations peaceful.
Obviously, some agent provocateurs of authority will be needed.
Dotson said the city had enlisted extra officers and was prepared for trouble, though he hoped for the best.
Organizers were pleased that the latest Ferguson protests concluded without major incident.

That doesn't even look like the 200 protesters claimed across from the thin blue line.
"Pennsylvania ambush suspect could lose advantage as leaves fall" Associated Press October 13, 2014
CANADENSIS, Pa. — For the past month, ambush suspect Eric Frein has capitalized on relatively mild temperatures, dense tree cover, and his own survival skills to successfully elude a search in the woods of Pennsylvania’s Pocono Mountains.
Now that it is getting colder and the leaves are starting to fall, the advantage could soon shift to law enforcement, experts say.
Unless he is hiding out somewhere.
But the challenge remains no less daunting as police track an armed suspect — already accused of killing one officer and injuring another — in a wilderness that offers plenty of places to hide.
‘‘I wish people could understand how hard it is to find people in the woods,’’ said Patrick Patten, who helped track Eric Rudolph, the 1996 Atlanta Olympics bomber who eluded authorities for years in the woods of western North Carolina. ‘‘It truly is a massive undertaking.’’
If that is the guy whom was ultimately responsible for Atlanta what now must be viewed as another in an endless cycle of false flags followed by lies from the media I am reading here. Sorry.
As for not finding Frein, I can't help but think of all those episodes of "Cops" I watched when they had infrared on the suspect who was hiding out somewhere. But whatever. Accept your silly slop propaganda and don't question official mouthpieces.
The Sept. 12 ambush outside the Blooming Grove state police barracks killed Corporeal Bryon Dickson, seriously wounded Trooper Alex Douglass, and touched off a manhunt, the scale and intensity of which is unrivaled in modern Pennsylvania history.
Day after day, tactical teams looking for Frein creep through the woods around his parents’ home in Canadensis, using sticks and ski poles to prod the dense underbrush.
How much is all this costing beleaguered taxpayers?
Dogs sniff for explosives, weapons, and ammunition — and any sign of the suspect. Troopers maintain a perimeter.

That is smelling so fake.
