A CNN anchor's comments about the obvious smell of marijuana during the riots last night in Ferguson, Missouri, have landed him in hot water.

While describing a scene across the street from the Ferguson Police Department, Lemon was asked by another anchor, Anderson Cooper, to share some of the sights and sounds of the escalating protest, according to USA Today.

"Just a couple seconds ago, we heard a gunshot," the newspaper quoted Lemon as saying. "People started running this way and there are a couple police officers in the crowd."

"Obviously, there's a smell of marijuana in the air, as well," he added.

A lady that I know just came from Ferguson, MO
She smiled because I did not understand
Then she held out some marijuana, ha ha
She said it was the best in all the land

What’s the point of having a reporter there — if he isn’t supposed to report?

Buy why would he be in trouble?

Are not reporters supposed to report?

Why would it be helpful to anyone in any way to omit facts?

Are we not in this very situations because facts were omitted?

I am weary of this country of lies.
