Ferguson protesters want the residents of St. Louis to know it's not business as usual in the city. They planned to make a statement at last Sunday's St. Louis Rams game.

The St. Louis Business Journal reports protesters planned to rally outside — and inside — the Edward Jones Dome Sunday and discussed plans for the "shutdown" of the Rams game at the St. Louis County Council meeting last Tuesday.

"There is no drinking and being merry while there is no justice for Mike Brown," a protester's YouTube video says. "All of those St. Louis Rams fans who love justice, who are with the people, I ask you to contact me and to donate your St. Louis Rams tickets so protestors can get in the dome."

Brown, an unarmed 18-year-old, was shot Aug. 9 by Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson, sparking weeks-long citywide riots and solidarity protests across the nation. No charges have been filed in the case.
