Younger black generation rails at ineffectiveness of peaceful tactics as day of mass civil disobedience begins across city
Frustration and anger among young black Americans at an older generation’s apparent failure to adequately respond to the killing of Michael Brown by a white police officer in Ferguson upended a key event at a weekend of mass protest on Sunday.
The showdown exposed a generational divide over how best to confront police racism, brutality and use of excessive force as organisers of the “weekend of resistance”, which has drawn activists from across the US, plan to stage mass civil disobedience across St Louis on Monday.
While older civil rights leaders hark back to the more peaceful methods of half a century ago, some younger people question their effectiveness today and are pressing for more confrontational tactics.
The fuse was lit when hundreds of people who came to hear the intellectual and activist Cornel West speak were subjected to speeches by a succession of preachers from the major religions offering essentially the same message about loving one’s fellow man and standing up against injustice. The meeting was billed as being “in the tradition of the civil rights movement” but the tone was in part governed by the venue for the meeting, St Louis University, a Catholic institution.
Some in the audience grew restless and then angered at the series of reverends, imams and rabbis until a small group of activists demanded to speak. They were supported by chants of “let them be heard” and “this is what democracy looks like”, a rallying cry at protests over Brown’s shooting.
Tef Poe, a St Louis rapper and activist for Hands Up United, a campaign group seeking racial justice in Ferguson, took the microphone and noted that the Christian, Jewish and Muslim preachers on the stage were not the people on the street trying to protect people from the police.
“The people who want to break down racism from a philosophical level, y’all didn’t show up,” he said to loud cheers.
At that point, the planned programme fell apart and the focus shifted. Some younger black speakers demanded to know whether the people on the stage had a plan of action.
“All those speeches before, you’ve heard them all before. That’s not going to change, right?” said one. “I was hoping for a plan from our elders and I was disappointed,” said another.
A young man used more graphic language. “I’ve been out there since motherfucking August 9,” he told the various preachers. “If you don’t turn up at the protest get the fuck out of here.”
By then some had already left the stage, although it was not clear if it was because they were unhappy at the turn of events or to make space.
In the midst of this, a lone white man in the audience caused uproar when he shouted that African Americans should not underestimate white people’s “gift to you”. The man had to be escorted from the arena.
West did not disappoint the audience, telling listeners that an older generation of African Americans had failed them.
“The older generation has been too well adjusted to injustice to listen to the younger generation. The older generation has been too obsessed with being successful rather than being faithful to a cause that was zeroing in on the plight of the poor and working people,” he said. “Thank God the awakening is setting in. And any time the awakening sets in it gets a little messy.”
A little later he drew loud cheers as he sharpened his argument. “What our young people are also upset about is that they understand that too many of our black middle class brothers and sisters have been ‘reniggerised’. All you’ve got to do is give big positions, give them some status, give them a little money, but walking around they’re still intimidated, they don’t want to tell the truth about the situation.”
One of the earlier speakers, Reverend Traci Blackmon, touched on a similar theme.
“We have been fooled all these years into thinking that when a few get through the doors all is well. Our generation has been guilty of confusing access with ownership,” she said.
Not all the earlier speakers were unwelcome. Hedy Epstein, a 90-year-old Holocaust survivor who was part of the kindertransport to Britain, told how she arrived in the US in 1948 and was taken aback by racial segregation where she was living in the south. Epstein was arrested in August after joining a protest over Brown’s killing and is awaiting trial for “failure to disperse”.
But the meeting appeared to mark a watershed as protest organisers prepared for what is billed as a day of civil disobedience on Monday, modelled on “Moral Monday” demonstrations launched over political policies in North Carolina, by training volunteers in passive resistance and what to do if they are arrested. Churches ran a “faith in action mobilizing training” session on Sunday afternoon that included the occupation of a police station. At other sessions, volunteers were instructed in blocking traffic and sit down resistance.
Organisers of the “Weekend of Resistance” have kept their plans for Monday to themselves but say they will alert activists to actions at short notice by text message, Twitter and other social media.
At the end of the mass meeting, one of the young people who had taken over the stage called on people to join a protest vigil at the site where St Louis police last week shot another 18 year-old black man, Vonderrit Myers. The police said Myers shot at an officer who attempted to stop him for a “pedestrian check”. His family say he was unarmed.
As the protesters gathered and debated how confrontational to be with the police, Myers’s father appeared and told them: “Whatever it is y’all want to do, I’m fine with it”. Demonstrators began blocking roads in the area.
In the early hours of Sunday morning, dozens of activists attempted to occupy a convenience store in support of Myers. The police arrested 17 people for unlawful assembly.
quote:Clergy among dozens arrested on final day of 'Ferguson October' protests
Hundreds marched on Ferguson police station in ‘Weekend of Resistance’ to protest killing of unarmed teenager Michael Brown
Police arrested more than 50 people, including members of the clergy and the radical intellectual and activist Cornel West, during a day of civil disobedience protests on Monday over the killing in Ferguson of an unarmed 18-year-old African American man, Michael Brown, by a white police officer two months ago.
Several hundred people marched on Ferguson police station for a “Moral Monday” protest on the final day of a “Weekend of Resistance” that brought activists from across the US to demand that Darren Wilson, the officer who shot Brown, be put on trial and to protest over broader issues of racial profiling and use of excessive force by police officers in other places.
In a series of guerrilla protests, demonstrators unfurled banners at an NFL game hosted by the St Louis Rams, laid siege to several WalMart stores and stormed St Louis city hall, drawing the promise of a meeting with the mayor to discuss policing.
The protests began in the pouring rain as about 100 members of the clergy led the march on Ferguson police station from a local church up the street. They included a female rabbi from Detroit, a Quaker minister from Portland, Oregon, and the dean of a St Louis cathedral.
Initially they were met at Ferguson station by only a small contingent of local police. During a lengthy standoff reverends, rabbis and secular activists sang civil rights-era songs and appealed to the policemen and one woman in front of them to confess and repent. None took up the offer.
The protesters drew a chalk outline in front of the police representing Brown’s body lying in the street with white candles placed to mark where five bullets hit him and a sixth red one for the shot to the head that killed him.
One woman carrying a sign reading “Don’t shoot” walked up to a Ferguson police officer whose name tag said M Brown. She put his face close to his and said: “I want to hug you, not hate you.”
The officer then hugged the woman, who gave her name as Dragonfly from the Church of Stop Shopping, an activist group based in New York City. But the mood toughened as a line of police officers in riot gear moved in and the crowd divided into those who were prepared to be arrested and those who were not.
Those who were pressed toward the police station doors, barricaded with wood. Protesters chanted: “Fight back” and “Black lives matter, all lives matter.”
Some went up close to the police line and held up long mirrors so officers in riot gear could see themselves. The group used a well-honed tactic of linking arms and pressing against the police line until they were detained. West, a Baptist minister, had said at a rally on Sunday evening that he had come to St Louis to get arrested.
Forty-two people were arrested at the police station. Among the others detained was Pastor Michael McBride, a leader of the PICO National Network of faith-based community organisations, who issued a statement afterwards saying his actions were “an act of resistance and repentance”.
“This afternoon’s arrests in Ferguson are another example of how activists, including prominent local faith leaders, members of local faith congregations, students and community leaders, are being falsely accused of inciting violence when the truth in plain sight is that we are seeking justice,” it said.
Compared with earlier protests, the police in Ferguson and St Louis have generally held back over the past few days in a deliberate attempt to avoid confrontations that would inflame the situation further.
Chrissy Kirchhoefer, an urban farmer from neighbouring Florissant, said she was surprised at the relative restraint of the police. “For the most part it’s civilised,” she said. “I can’t not be here,” she said as she attempted to get shelter under a too-small umbrella. “Here in St Louis we’ve been living with this for so long it’s become normalised. It’s like a boil that’s been lanced and it takes time for the pus to come out.”
Kirchhoefer was among a large crowd at a mass meeting on Sunday evening at which younger African Americans challenged an older generation of leaders, accusing them of lacking direction in combatting the use of excessive force and racism by the police.
“The younger folks were able to voice their disrespect at the inaction of their elders,” she said.
“It was the passing of the baton.”
Some of those same young people were outside Ferguson police station and questioning the tactic of using peaceful protest to engineer arrests.
“They arrest them, they let them go. What good does that do?” asked Laverne Henderson, a 20-year-old from St Louis. “That won’t change the police. They’ve got their guns and they’re still in charge and they can still arrest us any time they want to for no reason at all.”
Later in the day, about 60 protesters stormed into St Louis city hall and unfurled a banner in the rotunda. The group called for all police officers to wear body cameras and for an independent body to examine shootings by the police.
The mayor, Francis Slay, was not at city hall but the St Louis Post-Dispatch reported that his chief of staff, Jeff Rainford, met with a representative of the group and said the mayor would meet with the protesters soon.

'Jennifer lives each day with fears, anxieties and uncertainty about her future and Payton's future,' according to the lawsuit.
Ms Cramblett, the assistant manager of an AT&T store, said she and her partner Amanda Zinkon love their daughter, who is now two years old, but say they must now consider moving to a more diverse community.
Ms Cramblett says in her lawsuit that much of her family is racist and that one uncle openly makes racist comments.
Even simple tasks have become more complicated because Payton is mixed-race, the lawsuit says.
'Payton has hair typical of an African American girl. To get a decent cut, Jennifer must travel to a black neighborhood, far from where she lives, where she is obviously different in appearance, and not overtly welcome,' according to the lawsuit.
Ms Cramblett says she grew up in Scio, Ohio - population 762 - and didn't meet a black person until she attended college. She currently lives in Uniontown, population 2,802, and fears Payton will be the only non-white child in class when the time comes for her to attend school

The KKK began distributing a flier in the St. Louis area promising to use lethal force against any protesters in Ferguson they deem as violent.
Frank Ancona, imperial wizard of the KKK chapter, spoke with the Riverfront Times about the flier and intentions of the KKK as large-scale protests loom with the approaching grand jury announcement in the police officer Darren Wilson case in which he shot unarmed Michael Brown, an African American youth with his hands in the air, saying, “Don’t Shoot!”
KKK members were reportedly raising money to support Wilson, their “hero” as they called him for shooting Brown.

En voordat we weer agenten met een blanke huidskleur gaan aanvallen heb ik even wat statistieken erbij gepakt die wat meer licht op het gehele plaatje werpen. Let ook op de hatecrimes. Zeer verassend maar ook als het om racisme gaat staat zwart bovenaan.
Blacks are seven times more likely than people of other races to commit murder, and eight times more likely to commit robbery.
## When Blacks commit crimes of violence, they are nearly three times more likely than non-Blacks to use a gun, and more than twice as likely to use a knife.
## Hispanics commit violent crimes at roughly three times the white rate, and Asians commit violent crimes at about one quarter the White rate.
## The single best indicator of violent crime levels in an area is the percentage of the population that is Black and Hispanic.
## Of the nearly 770,000 violent interracial crimes committed every year involving Blacks and Whites, Blacks commit 85 percent and Whites commit 15 percent.
## Blacks commit more violent crime against whites than against blacks. Forty-five percent of their victims are white, 43 percent are Black, and 10 percent are Hispanic. When Whites commit violent crime, only three percent of their victims are Black.
## Blacks are an estimated 39 times more likely to commit a violent crime against a White than vice versa, and 136 times more likely to commit robbery.
## Blacks are 2.25 times more likely to commit officially-designated hate crimes against whites than vice versa.
## Only 10 percent of youth gang members are white.
## Hispanics are 19 times more likely than whites to be members of youth gangs. Blacks are 15 times more likely, and Asians are nine times more likely.
## Between 1980 and 2003 the US incarceration rate more than tripled, from 139 to 482 per 100,000, and the number of prisoners increased from 320,000 to 1.39 million.
## Blacks are seven times more likely to be in prison than Whites. Hispanics are three times more likely.
The report also stated that between 2001 and 2003 there were an average of 15,400 Black-on-White rapes. The number of White-on-Black rapes were unclear. Counting some Hispanics as Whites, there were 900 "White"-on-Black rapes. Blacks were 7.2 time more likely to commit interracial rape even after controlling for differences in population size and for the higher general rate of rape for Blacks. This may suggest a deliberate targeting of Whites.[3]
There were 10,000 gang-rapes by Blacks against Whites between but not a single "White"-on-Black gang rape.[3]
Whites are more likely to commit white-collar offenses. Actually,
Only 0.3% of reported interracial crimes are classified as official "hate crimes". This classification has been argued to be arbitrary and biased against Whites. Despite this Blacks commit 2.25 times more official hate crimes against Whites and Hispanics than the reverse. The media has been argued to give undue emphasis to official hate crimes as compared to the much more common interracial crimes in general as well as having a bias towards reporting the more uncommon White-on-Black crimes.[4][3]
As of 2001, the chances of going to only State or Federal prison in percentages for various demographic groups. The lifetime chance for Black males was around 1/3.[5]
For men in their early thirties, Blacks are about 7 times more likely to have a prison record than Whites. They are more likely to have been in prison (22.4 percent) than in the military (17.4 percent) or in college. 12.5 percent have a bachelor’s degree. The results are related on educational achievement. 30 percent of those without college education and nearly 60 percent of high school dropouts had prison records.[6]

Anonymous has taken control of two Twitter accounts related to the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) after the white supremacist group threatened "lethal force" on anyone protesting in Ferguson, Missouri.
Anonymous, the global online hacktivist movement, has taken control of two official Twitter accounts associated with the KKK as well as knocking four of the organisation's websites offline.
IBTimes UK has learned from the Anonymous members involved that several email accounts associated with the KKK have also been compromised in the last 24 hours and it has begun doxxing (publicly revealing a person's identity and personal information) of the KKK group which has been threatening them.
It is also promising to publish "many documents" relating to the KKK in the coming hours.
The takeover of the Twitter accounts comes after several days when insults and threats were traded online between the two groups with the KKK claiming Anonymous would not be able to do anything:
quote:Missouri governor declares state of emergency as national guard brought in to Ferguson
Jay Nixon signs executive order activating national guard to help police ‘maintain peace and protect those exercising their right to free speech’
The governor of Missouri declared a state of emergency on Monday, authorising the national guard to assist the policing of protests expected in Ferguson after it is announced whether a white police officer who shot dead an unarmed black 18-year-old will face charges.
Jay Nixon signed an executive order on Monday activating the national guard to support police “during any period of unrest that might occur following the grand jury’s decision concerning the investigation into the death of Michael Brown”.
Nixon had previously said he was ready to order national guard troops back into the St Louis suburb whenever necessary. In August, the national guard protected a makeshift police base at a shopping mall during nights of clashes between officers and protesters following Brown’s death in a residential side-street.
The governor said in a statement on Monday that the soldiers would help “maintain peace and protect those exercising their right to free speech” in the event of demonstrations following the grand jury’s announcement, which is expected in the coming days.
“The national guard is well suited to provide security at command posts, fire stations and other locations as well as perform other functions that will free up law enforcement officers to remain focused on community policing and protecting constitutional rights,” he said.
National guard troops in Ferguson would again be commanded by brigadier general Gregory Mason, a veteran of the Missouri state highway patrol, which will police potential unrest alongside the St Louis metropolitan police and St Louis county police.
Statements welcoming the national guard from chiefs of those forces, which represent a unified police command, were attached to the statement from Nixon, a Democrat who before the crisis in Ferguson was viewed as a possible vice-presidential candidate for 2016.
The grand jury has been meeting for about three months to consider evidence on the shooting of Brown by officer Darren Wilson on 9 August. The officer shot Brown repeatedly after an altercation that followed Wilson stopping him and a friend for jaywalking.
Several witnesses said afterwards that Brown was shot after surrendering. Police say that he assaulted Wilson. The officer has reportedly testified to the grand jury that after fleeing, Brown turned and again posed him a physical threat.
A series of leaks from federal and regional officials has led to a widespread assumption among protesters that Wilson, 28, will not be indicted for the shooting. A series of actions is planned in response around the St Louis region and the US.
While the grand jurors have considered material compiled by county investigators, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and US department of justice have been conducting a parallel inquiry for possible federal civil rights charges against Wilson. These, too, are considered unlikely.
