Feature: Local baker feeds Ferguson protesters, recalling police abuse

As Cathy "Mamacat" Daniels wove past lines of police and protesters, she greeted mask-wearing protesters and police officers by names.

She has been an activist for a full year as of Aug. 10, the day when unarmed black teen Michael Brown was shot and killed by white police officer Darren Wilson one year ago, prompting violent protests and riots in Ferguson, Missouri.

Daniels first learned of Brown's death while she was at home.

She said she turned on the television and saw a body lying in the middle of the street.

"They killed somebody's child. The baby was lying there, uncovered."

Mild-mannered Daniels didn't get angry until she heard a police officer say "you need to get yourself together" to Brown's mother Lesley McSpadden.

"They wouldn't even let her get close enough to identify her son. They treated her with no compassion."

Daniels didn't leave immediately to protest because she had to bake. "My clients depend on me to get the job done," she said.

A life-long baker, she decided to put her talents to use, feeding the members of the protest movement.

"We have to keep our people fed, the revolution is only as strong as its weakest soldier."

Shortly before midnight, she was still serving cookies and pretzels to protesters.

Daniels, the wife of a U.S. Navy veteran, said her husband supports her decision to come out and help protesters.

"He understands my reasons for being here, but sometimes it makes it hard at home. I'm always out here, doing everything, I'm the one that cooks to feed the movement."

She planed to continue feeding protesters as long as the movement continues. Endi
