FROM THE FRONT LINES: A Day of Civil Disobedience
Dr. Cornel West and other clergy were arrested after breaking through the police line and kneeling down to pray. It’s going down in Ferguson, MO right now. Clergy have locked arms facing a line of police officers and they are moving forward. They are requesting to make an appointment with the Ferguson Police Chief, while police push back.
Those on the front lines have spent hours in the rain in an act of civil disobedience at the Ferguson Police Department. The rain has not deterred the commitment of protesters that have traveled far and wide. An extremely moving moment transpired as they prayed silently after 4 hours and 32 minutes, the amount of time that Michael Brown’s body lay lifeless in the street after being shot and killed by Ferguson Police officer Darren Wilson.
