This is the kind of guy promoted for ‘solutions’ by Obama and De Blasio.
Via NY Post:
A young Ferguson, Mo., activist who touted his peaceful protesting as he sat next to New York Mayor Bill de Blasio on a panel with President Obama earlier this week was charged with assault Thursday after allegedly trying to shove his way into St. Louis City Hall.
Rasheen Aldridge, 22, sat only three chairs away from Obama during the Monday meeting that allowed Ferguson activists to voice their concerns to top officials.
“We want [the president] to come out and have accountability for police, we want him to acknowledge our pain, and that we have been peaceful,” Aldridge told USA Today.
But on Thursday, he was one of three protesters charged with misdemeanor assault after they attempted to demonstrate inside City Hall on Nov. 26, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported. The building was put on lockdown.
Wearing a gray stocking cap, Aldridge stood at the front of the crowd, which tried to rush past a marshal guarding the building’s south door.

Here’s video of the attempt to push into the City Hall, and assaults on the officers (warning for language), h/t to Cheechakos:
No, this is NOT “what democracy looks like”. This is what crazy Leftists trying to use a dead man for their own purposes looks like.
