Campaign underway to oust Ferguson mayor: activists

Five Ferguson residents have taken a first step toward ousting the city's mayor in the wake of a federal probe into the police killing of unarmed black youth Michael Brown, activists said Saturday. The residents delivered their affidavit for James Knowles's recall to city hall on Friday, the Organization for Black Struggle said on its Twitter feed, just as the mayor was telling US news media he has no intention of stepping down.
