FOX 2 reported:
Protesters stormed the doors of the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department headquarters Wednesday morning. Their plan is to occupy the department for four and a half hours.
About 15 protesters were in the lobby and refused to leave until their demands were met. They also handed police an ‘Eviction Notice.’
The unhinged protesters taped demands on the police department windows.

These photos were taken after they were maced.
It took a while for the mob to recover.
City police don’t play.

More… Obama’s buddy, 20 year-old Ferguson activist Rasheen Aldridge, was there today. Rasheen was arrested for assaulting a security guard at City Hall in November.
