Oh, and where the protests Are going on right now is near where the police who killed the 2 black men that Mccolluch called "bums"
And apparently someone threw a brick at the police (edit, cop wasn't hit..but a brick was thrown at police)
I feel like things are just going to get worse. Seems like The City Council meeting that went on last night made the community even more angry.
Also, today in a community meeting in St Louis regarding the polices excessive use of force, Maria Chappelle the state senator went off at governor Nixon calling him a coward, said he doesn't care about black people, and while she and people in the community were getting teargassed, called animals and treated like 3rd class citizens..he was chillen in his mansion.
Edit: ALSO the reason these protests are going on is to demand a new prosecutor (hence why they're near the scene where the 2 black men were murdered by police & Mccolluch decided not to prosecute the cops) Nixon turned down the request for a different prosecutor.. I saw someone who's there tweet about it earlier.
