Ferguson Police Reportedly Shot Pastor Renita Lamkin With Rubber Bullet During Protest

Yasmine Hafiz

A pastor said she was shot with a rubber bullet on Wednesday during a protest in Ferguson, Missouri, as clashes with police continued over the fatal shooting of unarmed teen Michael Brown.

Renita Lamkin, an African Methodist Episcopal church pastor, told The Huffington Post that she was "standing in the middle of the street, with people behind me, and the police were in front of me." Lamkin said she was attempting to mediate between police and protesters the demonstration and told the police, "They're moving, they're leaving."

Hopefully, the participation of some of these groups with the goal of non-violent protest will help calm things down.

Well, that and the removal of the county law enforcement agency.
