A planned protest on Interstate 70 in Ferguson, Mo. is going on as planned, and as expected police have begun arresting those who refuse to comply.
The AP is reporting that at least seven protestors have been cuffed by police. The plan has always been for the group to block onramps to the very busy Interstate 70, with the stated goal of bringing traffic to a complete standstill.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol has promised to “enforce the law and ensure public safety,” leading them to arrest those blocking the roadway. Here’s a look at the scene unfolding:
