As demonstrations in Ferguson, Mo., quickly turned to rioting, many suggested that it was “outside agitators” from out of town who were causing the most trouble, inciting violence and antagonizing police.
Tomorrow, there will be plenty of outside agitators in Ferguson as the town hosts a massive “National March on Ferguson” featuring international, national and local speakers. Don’t expect a lot of quiet contemplation.
March Saturday at 10:00 in #Ferguson. Organizers include @MariaChappelleN, @SenatorNasheed, Anthony Shahid, others. pic.twitter.com/aOk5bNhh1H

There are several battles to be fought in the days, weeks, and months ahead. A "turf battle" should not be one of them.

Speaking of turf battles, Patricia Bynes, Democratic Committeewoman of Ferguson Township, is encouraging St. Louis alderman Antonio French to lay off of the national focus and pay attention to his own ward.
. @AntonioFrench You are a political looters. You will NOT take advantage of the #Ferguson community when it is vulnerable.
— Patricia Bynes (@PatriciaBynes) August 30, 2014
. @AntonioFrench I told you that yesterday & I want to make it clear and plain. Using #Ferguson to advance your own agenda is disgusting
— Patricia Bynes (@PatriciaBynes) August 30, 2014
. @AntonioFrench The people of #Ferguson will empower themselves. That is how this change will come.
— Patricia Bynes (@PatriciaBynes) August 30, 2014
. @AntonioFrench The citizens of the 21st Ward in the City of St. Louis, not in St. Louis County or Ferguson need your help
— Patricia Bynes (@PatriciaBynes) August 30, 2014
. @AntonioFrench A body of a decomposed person was found the other day near your ward. Kajimme Powell was shoot on video in the City.
— Patricia Bynes (@PatriciaBynes) August 30, 2014
. @AntonioFrench you r on the Public Safety Commission for the city. You need to rep your citizens and put heat on YOUR police chief
— Patricia Bynes (@PatriciaBynes) August 30, 2014
. @AntonioFrench You disrespected the Councilwoman, the state reps of the area, and me. You can't possibly be for helping Ferguson
