NBC: Ferguson Protesters Won't Let Cops Getting Gunned Down 'Slow Their Movement' (NewsBusters)

During a report on Friday's NBC Today about the manhunt for suspects in the shooting of two police officers in Ferguson, Missouri, correspondent Craig Melvin touted protesters in the community being undeterred by the violence: "One of the protest organizers, Rasheen Aldridge, says he hopes for the officers's recovery, but is determined not to let the shootings slow their movement."

Melvin asked Aldridge: "What's the end game?" Aldridge replied: "The end game is to continue. Continue to fight until we have a system that is going to be equal to everyone." Melvin turned to another protester and wondered: "We had three top officials step down over the past week or so in this area. Is that not enough?" The unidentified woman declared: "No, it's nothing."
