Protesters sitting or standing in the road around Interstate 70 on-ramps near the St. Louis suburb where Michael Brown was shot dead by Ferguson Officer Darren Wilson on Aug. 9 were arrested. Missouri law enforcement agencies did not respond to requests for comment. St. Louis County and Missouri State Highway Patrol officers closed the highway on-ramp to traffic and told demonstrators they could not hang signs on the overpass or enter onto the highway. Organizers told the newspaper the protests were over Missouri Governor Jay Nixon's refusal to replace the St. Louis County prosecutor investigating the fatal shooting. http://yhoo.it/1pQVEEz http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ
