march on West Florissant Avenue in Ferguson, Mo., on Saturday, Aug. 23,
2014. Ferguson's streets remained peaceful as tensions between police
and protesters continued to subside after nights of violence and unrest
that erupted when Officer Darren Wilson, a white police officer, fatally
shot Michael Brown, an unarmed black 18-year-old. (AP Photo/St. Louis

Several community activists walked side-by-side with police officers in
uniform as they walked down one of the main streets in Ferguson that had
been filled with armored vehicles and officers in riot gear less than a
week ago.
"I think some of the frustration is dying down because more information
is coming out," said Alana Ramey, 25, a St. Louis resident who joined
the afternoon march. "I think there is more action going on. People are
being more organized and that is helping."
