Demanding "justice for Mike Brown" and other African-Americans killed by police, protesters hit the streets Friday in eastern Missouri, kicking off four days of demonstrations, discussions and civil disobedience. "Today is not the start of an event, today is the beginning of your movement," a man said Friday through a megaphone, with protesters in the crowd echoing his words. "From this day forward, we say no more. We say enough." The event, which has been dubbed "Ferguson October" and the "Weekend of Resistance," centers on the 18-year-old Brown. Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson shot and killed the black teenager on August 9. Authorities have said Brown attacked the officer and tried to take his gun; Brown's camp contends the unarmed teenager had his hands in the air when he was shot.

That public discord has died down somewhat, though the events Friday through Monday aim to keep the demonstrators' message out there -- both to demand @placeholder's arrest and to bring attention, more generally, to what they describe as racial profiling and police violence elsewhere as well.
