Thousands Join "Ferguson October" Protests Against Police Shootings 
--------------------------------------------------------------------


 
Thousands of people traveled to St. Louis, Missouri, to take part in
"Ferguson October," four days of action calling for justice in the case
of Michael Brown and the reform of police practices nationwide.
Overnight on Saturday, 17 people were arrested in a sit-in at a gas
station near the St. Louis neighborhood of Shaw, where police fatally
shot another 18-year-old African American, Vonderrit Myers. Watch our
report from the streets.
