#FergusonOctober protests continued Monday with a #MoralMondays Day of Civil Disobedience, which led demonstrators into at least three Ferguson-area Walmart stores to draw attention to the shooting death of John Crawford III in an Ohio Walmart in August. Police say Crawford was waving an air rifle inside the store and ignored their commands to drop his weapon and get on the ground.
Elizabeth Matthews of KSDK reports that a crowd of around 60 protesters forced the evacuation of the Maplewood, Mo., Walmart.

We think #MoralMobday was a typo, but it’s too good not to use.
