DNC Delegate Charged After Ferguson Protest

Keith Rose, an uncommitted alternate delegate to the Democratic National Convention and member of the St. Louis Civilian Oversight Board, has withdrawn from the DNC after being charged with felony first-degree property damage. This follows his arrest during a protest commemorating the 10th anniversary of Michael Brown's death, where he allegedly damaged a fence at the Ferguson Police Department. The protest turned violent, resulting in Officer Travis Brown being critically injured by Elijah Gantt, who charged at him, causing him to fall and sustain a severe brain injury. Bodycam and CCTV footage show the moment Brown was struck and the subsequent attempts by police to assist him. Rose's involvement in the incident has led to calls for his removal from the Civilian Oversight Board.
