Demonstrators took to the streets of Ferguson again on Wednesday, a month after Michael Brown's death, and some were arrested by police when they attempted to block a highway, reports St. Louis Public Radio.
The protesters are demanding a new prosecutor for the investigation into the shooting of Michael Brown. Many have questioned the objectivity of the current county prosecutor currently on the case, Bob McCullough, because his father, a police officer, was killed by a black man on the line of duty.

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?
Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple reasons that we can't rely only on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on.
First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.
Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. We can’t do that if we have a paywall.
That’s why we also turn to you, our readers, to help us keep Vox free. If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today?
