Racial tension spilled over from Ferguson, Mo., into nearby St. Louis on Monday night, where a handful of protesters urging justice for Michael Brown were met by mostly white Cardinals fans who taunted them with chants about poverty, Africa and in support of the white officer who killed the unarmed black teen.The Mike Brown story continues.
The ugly confrontation was caught on video outside of Busch Stadium, where the Cardinals took on the Los Angeles Dodgers in a National League baseball playoff game. A group of protesters massed outside Gate 4, a smoking section outside the stadium, and began urging “Justice for Mike Brown!” as they hoisted signs and an upside down American flag.
“We're the ones who f-----g gave all y'all all the freedoms that you have!" a petite blond white woman, holding a beer and rally towel, yells at the protesters.
