And this is still not okay.
The anger
is not going away.
The fury of Ferguson descended on the seat of St. Louis County with a vengeance Tuesday night with demonstrators unleashing a torrent of chants, invective and threats at a County Council that listened for two hours in stunned silence.
This would be a St. Louis County Council meeting, not the Ferguson City Council meeting that was met with
hundreds of angry residents a week ago. The particular council member on the receiving end of the ire was Democratic councilman Steve Stenger, who is seen as being close to County Prosecutor Robert McCulloch.
Several speakers demanded that Stenger call on his “BFF (Best Friend Forever)” McCulloch to resign by noon Wednesday. McCulloch was the councilman’s chief political ally in Stenger’s primary defeat of incumbent County Executive Charlie Dooley four days before Brown was shot to death. [...]
“We will do everything in our power on election day because we see you sitting there with a smug look on your face,” one speaker told Stenger. “We will have our say in November when we go to vote.”
McCulloch's impartiality in the case is viewed as suspect due to a history of apparent deference to law enforcement in past cases.
Meanwhile, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch is reporting that the officer that shot Michael Brown testified to the county grand jury investigating Brown's death for nearly four hours on Tuesday.
Wilson was not obligated to testify, and has also spoken with St. Louis County investigators twice and federal investigators once, the source said. The source said that Wilson had been “cooperative.”
So things trundle forward. Toward what, nobody knows.
