The mainstream media have gone out of their way to avoid posting demands made by Ferguson protesters. Here is one set published elsewhere by journalist Kevin Gosztola for Ferguson community organizers and ignored by the capitalist press.

1. Swift/impartial investigation by DoJ into MikeBrown shooting/investigation into civil rights violations by police in North STL county

2. Immediate arrest of Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson

3. County Prosecutor Robert McCulloch must stand down, allow special prosecutor appointment

4. Fire Ferguson police chief Thomas Jackson

5. Accountability for police practices & policies, including effective review of shootings & police misconduct

6. "Immediate" de-escalation of militarized policing of Ferguson

7. Immediate release of individuals who have participated in demonstrations in Ferguson
