They need to hire the environmentalists. Those are some real protesters there!

Okay, these two feeds are by McD's in the "green zone" as they are calling it.

Anyone got a feed near the QT down the road...ya know..where things may actually be making ..ahem..news?

No, cops told the reporters that they will be arrested if they aren't inside that pen.

Ok...who called the downpour at midnight????

It looke like media is corralled in one area!?

Is that accurate? It would jive with the stipulations of the Declaration of Emergency..

Yep. Matt Pearce of LA Times snapped a picture of what he called the "First Amendment Pen", which is basically where all the media was told to stay at if they don't want to get arrested.

Is there not a large crowd of people on the livestream? Or am i just seeing things

I think it's raining

its St Louis if you don't like the weather wait a hour.

Don't mind us in Missouri. We've become like Hawaii. Our rain never lasts..it just comes in isolated sheets like that these days. (sigh)

St Louis County Police SUV just parked between the Media kettle and QT where the real confrontation is happening.

Those people just have no end to how low class they can go.

I could hear them until the rain started pouring down

YouTube is up, they hear chanting down the road. So media won't seem the mayham.

Looking at radar it looks like it will clear soon.

Yep, large crowd in the middle of the street converging but the I am Mike Brown live feed is too far off to see what is going on really.

That wasn't a mistake. This is appalling.

The vice feed seems to be outside of the lines but it is hard to tell where they are in relation to that group of people.
And that white suv is just conveniently parked in front of livestream's feed....

yay, no media coverage where things are happening.

Moo.

Oh, sorry... hadn't seen your question. The feeds are just flakey. People using Best Buy level equipment for pro field work and ..well..conditions are rough on it, it seems. That's all I put it to, and they're doing pretty well, all things considered.

Authorities have the media in a small box almost beyond visual range of the QT where the protest is happening tho..and then the St Lou County SUV parked a moment ago to block a good % of what little view had remained for media to see.

No idea what is happening among the crowd down the road.

CNN is covering now with some live coverage. FWIW.

Strike that...they went back to the Middle East dang fast.

Of course! Cant have the country's largest gang veing visible from the free speech zone! I am completely disgusted by what my country has become.
