Ferguson, Missouri No-fly Zone During Protests Aimed at Media: Report

Local Missouri authorities requested a no-fly zone over the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson during street protests to keep news helicopters away, according to an Associated Press report, which cited audio recordings of federal aviation workers. Police have been criticized for using rubber bullets, tear gas, dogs and pointing weapons at protesters during demonstrations that followed the Aug. 9 shooting of unarmed black teenager Michael Brown by white Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson. The Federal Aviation Administration imposed flight restrictions over 37 square miles of airspace surrounding the town for 12 days. Air traffic managers struggled to redefine the ban to let commercial flights operate at Lambert-St. Louis International Airport and to let police helicopters fly through the area but ban other traffic, the AP reported on Sunday. http://yhoo.it/1xUqiCZ http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ
