Amnesty international in Ferguson!


Thanks Pinboy3niner for the clarification! They most definitely are in Ferguson and they are going to see it through. How cool that having this expansive wealth of commentary and on the ground reporting can bring good cheer to this tortuous wait. Thanks to DUers for standing by our peeps in STL.

If you have an account, look for @handsupunited @drumbeats4peace @deray. They have been sending out great pics and comments. I'm so proud of our people there.
I love that networking is available for those of us who can't be there!

It's such a good feeling knowing they are here for us! I think this response is turning out to be something MLK would have been proud of.

Tear gas blew toward them and as I recall Ferguson Police contained them in designated areas.
