Video And Pics After The Jump

FERGUSON, Mo. (Associated Press) — Disrupting commerce, transit and traffic became focal points for demonstrators across the country days after the announcement that a grand jury in Ferguson, Missouri declined to indict the police officer who fatally shot 18-year-old Michael Brown.

As Small Business Saturday approached, numerous storefronts in the Ferguson area had their windows covered with plywood with messages painted across many of them letting neighbors know that the shops are still open. Demonstrators temporarily shut down three large malls in suburban St. Louis on Black Friday, one of the busiest shopping days of the year, and then marched in front of the Ferguson police department to protest the grand jury's decision.

Several stores lowered their security doors or locked entrances as at least 200 protesters sprawled onto the floor while chanting, "Stop shopping and join the movement," at the Galleria mall in Richmond Heights a few miles south of Ferguson, Missouri, where Officer Darren Wilson fatally shot Brown, who was unarmed, in August.

The action prompted authorities to close the mall for about an hour Friday afternoon, while a similar protest of about 50 people had the same effect at West County Mall in nearby Des Peres. And several dozen demonstrators led to a temporary closure of the Chesterfield Mall.

Later Friday night, a group of about 100 protesters marched down South Florissant Road in front of the city's police and fire departments chanting, blocking traffic and stopping in front of some businesses.

"I served my country. I spent four years in the Army, and I feel like that's not what I served my country for," said Ebonie Tyse, 26, of St. Louis as National Guard trucks and police cruisers roamed the street in front of her. "I served my country for justice for everyone. Not because of what color, what age, what gender or anything," she said.

Sixteen people were arrested, according to St. Louis County Police spokesman Shawn McGuire. Fifteen of those arrested were for misdemeanor peace disturbance. One man, Joygill Moriah of the Bronx, New York, was charged with assaulting a police officer, resisting arrest and peace disturbance. He did not have a listed attorney. Only one of those arrested was from the St. Louis area. Eight were from New York City.

Monday night's announcement that Wilson, who is white, wouldn't be indicted for fatally shooting Brown, who was black, prompted violent protests that resulted in about a dozen buildings and some cars being burned. Dozens of people were arrested.

The rallies have been ongoing but have grown more peaceful this week, as protesters turn their attention to disrupting commerce. Elsewhere on Friday, protests in Chicago, New York, Seattle and northern California — where protesters chained themselves to trains — were among the largest in the country on Black Friday.

In Oakland, more than a dozen people were arrested after about 125 protesters wearing T-shirts that read "Black Lives Matter" interrupted train service from Oakland to San Francisco, with some chaining themselves to trains. Later in San Francisco, a march by hundreds turned ugly as protesters smashed windows and hurled bottles and other objects at police, leaving two officers injured. Police responded by making arrests but have not said how many. Dozens of people in Seattle blocked streets, and police said some protesters also apparently chained doors shut at the nearby Pacific Place shopping center.

In Chicago, about 200 people gathered near the city's popular Magnificent Mile shopping district, where Kristiana Colon, 28, called Friday "a day of awareness and engagement." She's a member of the Let Us Breathe Collective, which has been taking supplies such as gas masks to protesters in Ferguson.

"We want them to think twice before spending that dollar today," she said of shoppers. "As long as black lives are put second to materialism, there will be no peace."

Malcolm London, a leader in the Black Youth Project 100, which has been organizing Chicago protests, said the group was also trying to rally support for other issues, such as more transparency from Chicago police.

"We are not indicting a man. We are indicting a system," London told the crowd.

Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon on Friday announced that he will call a special session of the General Assembly to provide funding for public safety efforts related to protests. A news release from his office said that due to the increased presence of the State Highway Patrol and the Missouri National Guard in the region, the state's financial obligations for emergency duties are on track to exceed what had been appropriated.

NEW YORK (Associated Press) — Ray Rice has won the appeal of his indefinite suspension by the NFL, the players' union said Friday.

NFL Players Association spokesman George Atallah told The Associated Press in an email that "I can only confirm the suspension has been vacated, effective immediately."

The appeal was heard earlier this month by former U.S. District Judge Barbara S. Jones. She was deciding whether the NFL overstepped its authority in modifying Rice's two-game suspension, making it indefinite after video of the Baltimore Ravens running back punching his fiancee— now his wife, Janay — became public.

Ray Rice, Janay Palmer

The Rices testified at the hearing, as did NFL security chief Jeffrey Miller and Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome.

Rice was released by the Ravens and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell made the suspension indefinite shortly after the video was made public. But Rice and the union claimed he was essentially sentenced twice.

Roger Goodell

In her decision, Jones wrote:

"Because Rice did not mislead the commissioner and because there were no new facts on which the commissioner could base his increased suspension, I find that the imposition of the indefinite suspension was arbitrary. I therefore vacate the second penalty imposed on Rice. The provisions of the first discipline — those regarding making continued use of counseling and other professional services, having no further involvement with law enforcement, and not committing any additional violations of league policies_still stand."

The NFL did not immediately comment on Friday's decision by Jones.

Audio After The Jump

A couple of days ago we published a story about Scott Stapp that featured a 15-minute video in which he claimed his record company had robbed him of royalties, been unfairly targeted by the Internal Revenue Service, was broke, homeless and living in a Holiday Inn.

12351252696?profile=original

Throughout the clip Stapp detailed this sinister plot against him, while maintaining that he is 100% sober and has turned his life over to God.

It now seems that the Creed lead singer may not have been truthful about maintaining his sobriety.

TMZ reports that he was placed on a 72-hour psychiatric hold on November 13 after officers with the Madison County Florida Sheriff's Department found him on the side of the road. He appeared to be wasted and insisted that someone was trying to poison him.

He was later let go. At some point he filmed the video which was released via his Facebook page on November 26.

12351259861?profile=original

His estranged wife, Jaclyn Stapp (née Nesheiwat), has filed for divorce from the 41-year old singer. She told TMZ that he is on a wild drug binge that includes steroids, prescription pills, weed, cocaine, PCP, Special K and Crystal meth.

Scott's alleged paranoid delusions have led him to believe ISIS will attack his children and has him hearing voices.

12351260063?profile=original

On Thursday Stapp blamed his IRS problems on President Obama. Listen to the audio obtained by TMZ below.


"In 2012 I was doing a promotional tour for my book Sinner's Creed and I went on Fox News," Stapp said on KISS 92.5's Roz and Mocha Show. "I expressed a little concern and disappointment with President Obama. Withing two months of that public statement, that's when the IRS began to freeze my accounts. I believe that the IRS situation is definitely the result of me expressing my dissatisfaction with President Obama. Absolutely... one hundred percent."

This doesn't look like it's going to end well.
