Ferguson protests over the shooting of Michael Brown have resumed, this time at a different venue. On Tuesday, protestors assembled in St. Louis to press for larger reforms of both local and federal law enforcement. 

At least 100 protestors marched their way from Sr. Louis City Hall to the courthouse located several blocks downtown.

Protesters wanted to call attention to the death of 18-year-old Brown, but also to the fatal shooting of 25-year-old Kajieme Powell. Police shot him a mere 10 days after the Brown incident about two miles from where Brown was shot.

Police had released an official statement saying that Powell threatened two of their officers with a steak knife when he was caught stealing energy drinks and doughnuts from a convenience store.

Marching demonstrators held up a banner saying, "Hands Up United." The phrase is based on reports that Brown had his hands up in the air when he was shot six times by Ferguson Officer Darren Wilson.

No arrests were made at the demonstration held in St. Louis. However, according to reports, police were summoned for crowd control while the rally was being carried out.

Protestors are pressuring federal law enforcement to put in place a review board for civilians in order to monitor shootings and other uses of force by St. Louis police.

Review boards are common in large cities, however, absence of real power as well as lack of cooperation have always been raised as a problem.

In 2006, St. Louis police opposed the placement of a review board and, reportedly, may line up again to prevent a newer bill enforcing it from being pushed through.

Mayor spokeswoman Maggie Crane said that they are supporting the review board but the 2006 bill was considered as anti-police. Crane added that things are different now and they will have to review the negotiations prior to considering the newer bill.
