Protesters seeking “justice” in the officer-involved shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown marched inside the St. Louis County Police Department on Wednesday afternoon.
“If we don’t get justice here, we’ll get it on the streets,” one activist yelled, according to St. Louis Post-Dispatch Reporter Steve Giegerich.
Hours after explosive details were revealed in leaked autopsy and toxicology reports, the protesters wanted to talk to the police commission on Wednesday. However, police informed the group that the meeting had been canceled.
The protesters eventually left and headed to Ferguson to demonstrate at the site of Brown’s death.

A leaked toxicology report showed that Brown had tetrahydrocannabinol, commonly referred to as THC, in his blood and urine and may have been impaired. Further, an autopsy report suggested that there was a "significant altercation at the car."
The alleged account of Ferguson officer Darren Wilson, who fatally shot Brown, was also included in Tuesday night's explosive reports.
