Nightly chaos in the St. Louis suburb is getting all the attention, but the vast majority of those protesting have been peaceful. Here's a look at the some of the moments that are not making the front pages... Resident John West (L) hands a rose to a police officer, showing his appreciation with help in cleanup efforts in Ferguson.
Bishop Edwin Bass (L), president of the Church of God in Christ Urban Initiatives and other volunteers gather as they finish cleanup efforts after another night of demonstrations
Local resident, 9-year-old Ciara Hampton places roses along West Florissant Street as residents called for peaceful demonstrations
A small group of protesters join hands and bow their heads for a prayer directly across the street from the police department
Where are the photos of AG Holder at that soul food resteraunt and the brother in charge meeting him before going to work?
Let's see Fox News reports on this. I think they would only focus on the violence. If it bleeds, it leads.
It's heartwarming to see images such as those shared in this thread during times of extreme chaos. Thank you for shining the light on the GOOD and PEACEFUL demonstrations of love and support, Bliss.
Much respect to you three for your perspectives, and for appreciating them as I much as I did. I am sure there are hundreds more images that show people rejecting the divisiveness and chaos that others appear to thrive on. There has been some horrible things and damning accusations made by both sides of this incident, and seeing these people here express themselves in a mature way...they could teach those lacking in understanding of the power of a peaceful protest. Martin Luther King would be so proud of them.
Great pics! It was surreal seeing all the military vehicles, etc. These images warm the heart and show that people are doing what they can to get through these difficult times.
