Meanwhile, back in Ferguson: Protesters disrupt Dem pol's victory party, get arrested [photos]

Steve Stenger, a Democrat in St. Louis County, Missouri, won his race for St. Louis County Executive.

WE DID IT! St. Louis County chose a new direction to move this county FORWARD!

So, why did disgruntled marchers from nearby Ferguson target Stenger? Simple: Because the cameras were there and because they could.

Ringleader “Tef Poe” spread anti-police hatred at the event and helped “shut it down.”

Myself and @derekklaney we're kicked out of the action by Detectives/undercovers/obese guys in suits/dress shirts -first and foremost !

Not that they’ll listen to reason, but…

Protest outside of #stengers victory party all you want. It's not going to change the outcome of the election. #Ferguson
