raiding a bldg because someone reported inside

recapping that someone threw Molotov on top of Chop Suey restaurant earlier

So I'm assuming a protestor shot another protestor on the leg?

I wonder how the..no justice no curfew..is working out for the person that was shot.

more bangs, smoke in the distance about a block away. more tear gas

The gun thing has been an issue in Ferguson all week. Several times in the past days demonstrators warned me to stay away from certain guys.

Honestly, I find it rather amusing a protestor shot another protestor. And by protestor I really mean agitator!

I want to start my own chant...GET A CLUE!

someone is detained, describing his attire, hands behind his back

Official word, it's not tear gas... It's smoke

I have to say this, about people complaining that Brown was being demonized and it is of no relevance whatsoever that he wasn't the young man his mother said he was.

When this first happened, and his mother was yelling to the reporter that he tried to do what was right, he graduated from high school (do you know how many young black boys graduate from high school? not many) and he was going on to college and despite that he was STILL GUNNED DOWN in the streets. All of his tremendous efforts to make something of himself, against all odds, were of no use and now he was dead on the street.

Well that just broke my heart. That kind of hopelessness and despair broke my heart. And I think it broke everyone's heart who saw that scene - and that caused people to righteously riot. It's awful.

But it wasn't true. He was shot for attacking a cop after robbing a store. Much less heartbreaking story, from where I sit.

That is inaccurate. 52% of all black males graduate HS in four years.

Arrests...

 

[gramcracker]

not sure what to think, the reporters are talking about the effects of the tear gas on them

I wonder if it's "screaming banshee woman" from earlier?

A tank just ripped down the street and dispersed remaining people, including me. This thing is over. Conflicting reports of shots fired.

Highly skeptical of police insistence that wasn't tear gas. It burns and i wasn't even hit. #Ferguson
