Some Ferguson protesters are planning to rally outside — and inside — the Edward Jones Dome Sunday, when the St. Louis Rams play the Dallas Cowboys.
KMOX reports that protesters discussed plans for the "shut down" of the Rams game at the St. Louis County Council meeting Tuesday.
One protestor, Umar Lee, says in a video circulating on YouTube, "This is about a message. There is no business as usual. There is no drinking and being merry while there is no justice for Mike Brown," the unarmed 18-year-old who was shot Aug. 9 by Ferguson Officer Darren Wilson.
"All of those St. Louis Rams fans who love justice, who are with the people, I ask you to contact me and to donate your St. Louis Rams tickets so protestors can get in the dome," Lee said.
St. Louis Police Chief Sam Dotson on Thursday told KMOX he is aware of the threats.
“We are having extra resouces in the downtown area for this weekend to address any eventuality,” Dotson told KMOX.
