They have been controlled opposition protests from the start. That's why they have gotten so much coverage in my mouthpiece media.
"St. Louis remained on edge Friday. Senior Justice officials also told U.S. attorneys around the country on Tuesday to be in close touch with local police to prepare for any possible violence in their cities, should the grand jury decision not result in an indictment of Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson for the fatal shooting of Brown, an unarmed black teenager, on Aug. 9. On Friday, Holder released a video, reminding potential demonstrators that “history shows that most successful movements adhere to nonviolence.”“I ask all those who seek to lend their voice to important causes and discussions, and who seek to elevate these vital conversations, to do so in a way that respects the gravity of their subject matter,” Holder said in the video. “Peaceful protest has been a hallmark, and a legacy, of past movements for change, from patriotic women who demanded access to the franchise, to the civil rights pioneers who marched for equal rights and equal justice.” In the video, Holder expresses sympathy with the protesters."
Now you know this a staged and scripted psyop straight from government.
That's coming from a government that says looting banksters are too big to jail and one that has tortured and waged wars of lies and deceptions.
But they have sympathy for peaceful protesters, uh-huh.
So where are the agent provocateurs of government and when will they be activated?

"Missouri governor outlines Ferguson preparations" by Jim Salter | Associated Press November 12, 2014
"There is no specific date for a grand jury decision to be revealed, and Nixon gave no indication that an announcement is imminent. But...."
WELDON SPRING, Mo. — Missouri Governor Jay Nixon said Tuesday that law enforcement officials have been working around the clock to make sure residents and businesses are kept safe once prosecutors announce whether a suburban St. Louis police officer will face charges for fatally shooting 18-year-old Michael Brown.
A grand jury is expected to decide later this month whether to indict Ferguson Officer Darren Wilson, who is white, in the Aug. 9 death of Brown, who was black and unarmed.
Weeks of protests followed the shooting, and officials are trying to make sure things remain calm once the grand jury decision is announced. Nixon said looting and violence that marred mostly peaceful protests will not be tolerated.
‘‘That ugliness was not representative of Missouri, and it cannot be repeated,’’ he said.
Nixon said that once the decision is announced, the state highway patrol will work with St. Louis County and city police as one unified command. The National Guard will also be available if needed.
During the protests after the shooting, police donned riot gear and patrolled in armored vehicles, drawing widespread criticism and raising questions about a program that supplies surplus military equipment to local police departments.
A small number of protesters in those first few days attacked squad cars, tossed molotov cocktails at officers, and, in a few cases, shot guns in the direction of police and looted local businesses. Police responded with tear gas, smoke canisters, and rubber bullets. On many nights, dozens were arrested.
St. Louis County police initially handled security, but criticism of their tactics prompted Nixon to put Highway Patrol Captain Ron Johnson in charge. He and other police leaders said the response was necessary to protect officers, protesters and the public.
Some protest organizers fear police will be heavy-handed after the grand jury announcement.
Ashley Yates of St. Louis, cocreator of the group Millennial Activists United, noted that the vast majority of protests have been peaceful and said Nixon should focus on addressing the systemic problems faced by minority communities, ‘‘not reactionary policing techniques.’’
It isn’t just law enforcement getting ready for the announcement. Organizers of Yates’s group and other protesters gathered Tuesday for training that includes how to take notes and shoot video of police actions on the streets.
‘‘There is a significant effort to make sure that people’s rights are protected and that there’s no violence on either side,’’ said Andy Stepanian, a spokesman for several protest groups.

I'm sorry, folks, but I'm tired of this swill.
Btw, you know Brown had a gun, right?
NEXT DAY UPDATE:
Ahead of Ferguson decision, an education in nonviolence
Don't you just love it when a newspaper(?) that promotes mass-murdering wars with lies, distortions, and obfuscations comes down on the side of nonviolence and peace? I know I do.
The jury apparently needs more time to deliberate.
