Police Kick Oath Keepers Off Ferguson Rooftops

Some rooftops in Ferguson, Missouri, have been guarded by volunteers affiliated with a 35,000-member national organization called Oath Keepers. Police questioned group members early in the week and allowed them to stay. But Saturday, after media inquiries, St. Louis County police officers ordered the Oath Keepers to leave the rooftops. "We thought they were going to do it right this time," said group founder Stewart Rhodes of the government response to the grand jury decision released Monday in the Michael Brown case. "But when Monday rolled around and they didn't park the National Guard at these businesses, that's when we said we have got to do something."
