Racist abuse was hurled at demonstrators as they marched through a tiny rural Missouri town to protest the police shooting death of Michael Brown, it's emerged.
The "Journey for Justice" protesters were walking the 120 mile route from the spot where the unarmed black teen was shot dead by officer Darren Wilson in Ferguson to the Governor's Mansion in Jefferson City.
They were greeted with hostility as they passed through Rosebud on Wednesday.
Video posted online shows some 200 residents yelling out racist epithets as others screamed at the peaceful walkers to "go home." 
Fried chicken, a melon and a 40-ounce beer bottle were also placed in the street to antagonize the marchers, reports The Missourian. 
At least one person displayed a Confederate flag and the bus traveling alongside the marchers had a window broken by a bullet.
Signs also showed support for Wilson and other law enforcers.
