That Face...
On Saturday night, a beautifully diverse group of women and men came together to stage a protest inside of the St. Louis Symphony that they are calling, "Requiem for Mike Brown." Not only was it perfectly executed, the reactions it elicited from attendees and members of the symphony, ranging the spectrum from utter disgust to total support, created something of a microcosm of America.

Love it. 
At 0:36 seconds into the video, a symphony attendee can be overheard calling Mike Brown "a thug" and "a criminal" as the protestors peacefully proceeded with their singing. At 0:57 in the video, when he was asked to say it again for the camera, he smiles awkwardly (see below) and refuses to do so.

The woman he was with was heard by Rebecca Rivas uttering profanity throughout the protest as well:
@NaYaKnoMi @colleenkelly @organizemo Not sure. I asked him to repeat it and he just gave me that grin. His lady was cussing up a storm too
