Ferguson Protesters Now Protesting Over Not Getting Paid

[gsj68]

"At least some of the protesters who looted, rioted, burned buildings and overturned police cars in Ferguson, Missouri, last year were promised payment of up to $5,000 per month to join the protests.

However, when the Missourians Organizing for Reform and Empowerment (MORE), the successor group to the now-bankrupt St. Louis branch of ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now), stiffed the protesters, they launched a sit-in protest at the headquarters of MORE and created a Twitter page to demand their money, the Washington Times reports."

So they were paid to break laws? Um, isn't that against the law?

Does this mean that the Ferguson situation was not a grass roots protest?

Hands up, pay me!

Hands up, pay me!

That was the original translation of "Hands up, don't shoot!"
