FERGUSON, Mo. (AP) — A silent march and a day of civil disobedience are among the events being planned for next month in Ferguson to mark the first anniversary of the fatal shooting of a black 18-year-old by a white police officer, an event that galvanized the "Black Lives Matter" movement.
Organizers are calling it the "Ferguson Uprising Commemoration Weekend." Plans announced Monday include a silent march starting at 11 a.m. Aug. 9 from Canfield Drive, where Michael Brown was killed, to Greater St. Mark Family Church.
The agenda from the Ferguson Action Council includes an art event, rap and rock concerts. It calls for Aug. 10 to be a "Day of Civil Disobedience and National Call to Action." Messages seeking clarification about what sort of civil disobedience is planned were not returned.
The Ferguson Action Council brings together several groups active in protests — the Don't Shoot Coalition, Hands Up United, the Organization for Black Struggle and others.
"The racial disparities in police shootings have caused our community to take a stand for black lives," Kayla Reed of Organization for Black Struggle said in a statement. "One year later we continue to grow and organize to transform a system that has for too long oppressed people of color."
Brown, who was black and unarmed, was killed during a confrontation with Ferguson officer Darren Wilson on Aug. 9, 2014. Though some witnesses claimed that Brown had his hands up in surrender, both a St. Louis County grand jury and the U.S. Department of Justice cleared Wilson of wrongdoing. He resigned from the police force in November.
A separate Justice Department investigation was critical of Ferguson's policing and municipal court practices. The police chief, city manager and municipal judge in the St. Louis suburb resigned within days of the DOJ report.
On Monday, one of the areas hardest hit by the unrest got some sprucing ahead of the anniversary. Hundreds of volunteers converged to pick up litter and rip out weeds along a roughly three-mile West Florissant Avenue, including areas in front of stores still boarded up months after damage from looting and fires. The effort was conceived by KMOX radio personality Charlie Brennan.
"This brings people over here who are thinking Ferguson is a crime-ridden, messed-up hellhole," said Roy Gillespie, from St. Louis city's Central West End, who helped organize Monday's cleanup he insisted was more about fostering regional unity that actually ridding the place of rubbish.
Gillespie had some of his proof across the street. Joe Faber — a 54-year-old white man from Webster Groves, helped Tony Rice, who is black, clear a sidewalk stretch and a fenced-in area of litter. The two men hadn't met previously, and Faber already considered him "my new friend," offering to cool him with a dousing from his water bottle.
"It's pretty cool to see all different types of people here — young, old, black, white, yellow," Faber said. "Working side by side, it's fun. It's the human spirit."

They're still upset over that asshole's death? :-\

it's a shit town full of idiot cops + idiot citizens.
A militant police force and bunch of criminials and rioters. They deserve each other, much like a porn star and a crazy mma fighter. Ferguson is the war machine/christy mack marriage.

When are white folks going to do a March on the disparity between black on white rape of white women? You'd think these asshole feminist would rise up against that, rather than picketing Target over their "trophy" insignia line of shirts. Oh brother ::)

I see August 9th is a Sunday....must have planned it that way so none of them would miss work on Monday.....

"Silent march"
hahahahahaha oh, brother ::)
The only time one of these apes is quiet is during a spelling bee, when asked to spell "cat" or some such.

I wanna see how "silent" they can be as they are throwing a garbage can through their neighborhood bodega's glass front. Also, it's important to burn down all of the businesses where you live so that you can complain that there are no "services" in your area ::)
Prepare for a CNN/MSNBC/CBS/ABC/NBC onslaught.

Oh brother

They will never not be 'upset'. The hate is spreading.... it builds, intensifies and will end in violence.
-
I will pray for all the CVSs, gas stations, and convenience stores in the area :-\.

Those feminists actually believe the rapes are justified and are society's fault. Some of them have actually been raped by some of those people themselves, and blamed themselves and society for their attackers' behaviors.
As for the "trophy" shirts, you'd think they'd just simply not buy a shirt they don't like. Instead, they want to ban the existence of those shirts from the planet entirely. ::)

I don't see how a Day of Civil Disobedience can be silent? ::)
Are they just going to loiter in public spaces silently?
-
Despite the entire HANDS UP theory being discredited by witnesses and evidence alike, the lie continues to be perpetuated by the race baiters who seek to profit from the unrest. Dude was a thug and got what he deserved.

Wish "they" would schedule one of these silent protests at the next movie I go out to see.
-
No chance in the cosmos this could ever be silent.

Fuck em' I'm tired of hearing it. Let the fucking place burn and let em shoot each other. Start with the ones who insighted all of it from the beginning. From the local governments to the governors who supported and last but not least, the main reason, The Obama adminstration starting with Sharpton (yeah I know he isn't technically in the adminstration but he's been there over 80 times to blow Barry) from Baltimore to Ferguson and in between.

What do you mean a militant police force? They are doing their job. If Ferguson is 60% black and 40% white the arrest statistics don't have to reflect that. They arrest the person that does the crime. Seeing that 99% of the rioters are black I wonder who are causing the problems there?
I see no black protests for the over 2000 black people shot in Chicago in 2014 by other black people. None. Tired of this white man is keeping me down bull shit. Asians come here with nothing and in a few years own stores and have A plus students in school who stay out of trouble.

I had an acquaintance (who's black) tell me that the reason there is no uproar for black on black crime is because the black guy usually goes to jail, while the white cop is usually not charged with anything. It's how many of them perceive the situation, and perception is their reality.

How is this planned "Civil Disobedience" different from their normal behavior?

Well that would actually be better. I think they are doing it wrong.
