Ferguson, Missouri (KMOV.com) – What started as a peaceful prayer vigil Saturday evening to remember a young man gunned down by police, has escalated into full scale riots and looting in Ferguson, Missouri.

Angry mobs have smashed windows, set fires and looted businesses as a massive showing of police, some wearing riot gear have moved into the area along West Florissant just south of 270.

Police are also responding to reports of shootings throughout the area. At one point, windows of a News 4 live truck were smashed out by the angry crowd.

True enough, but regardless, twitter and scanners feed recruitment. Few need live video to produce their genetically induced rage.

Took them a while to think of this.

They milked it for all it was worth until the producers decided they needed to go back to 'programming'.

One station is riding around in an unmarked van now for their safety but still trying to get footage.

Maybe they should put on baseball caps and pull their pants down below their ass.

Two very different accounts of the shooting.

Chief Belmar said the incident started when Brown physically assaulted the police officer, pushing him into the officer’s vehicle. He said there was a struggle inside the car, and at some point Brown reached for the officer’s weapon. One shot was fired inside the vehicle.

Brown suffered fatal gunshot wounds outside of the vehicle, approximately 35 feet from the car. Belmar said multiple shell casings were found at the scene, and that Brown was shot more than once, but an exact number of shots fired has not yet been determined. All the shell casings came from the officer’s weapon.

Belmar confirmed Brown was unarmed at the time of the shooting. He did not say what led to the struggle inside the officer’s car.

Why do the police think we are criminals?

True. As I just said on another post, it was likely a network decision to go back to regular programming.

Besides, the remote crews are noticing it is getting worse by the moment, and they aren't safe.

Residential homes and an officer’s home? This will not end well if that is true.

Because looting 70-inch TV’s is the proper way to demand “Social Justice”, right?

Liquor store, Walmart, sporting goods, auto parts, rims and tires, beauty supplies, cell phones - looted.

Bookstore - no looting?

It's safe. The contents have no value to the rioters.
