Authorities in St. Louis encrypted their radio communications system Friday, just two days after protesters rushed to demonstrate at the scene of a fatal shooting involving a white police officer and a black teen.


The controversial move will limit access to St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department transmissions, which activists, protesters and the media have been listening to via scanners to keep up to date on police activity on the heels of the August killing of Michael Brown, an unarmed black 18-year-old by a white police officer in Ferguson, Missouri and the mass protests that followed.
