Violence between police and groups of people defying a state-imposed curfew broke out early Monday morning.
Violence erupted once again in the troubled city of Ferguson, Mo., as multiple gunshots were fired and police launched dozens of tear gas canisters and a main thoroughfare became a battle zone. At least one person, a woman, suffered a gunshot wound and was taken to a hospital, according to a police officer at the scene. Several others were arrested.
It was the second night of a state-imposed midnight curfew designed to quell the unrest that has enveloped this St. Louis suburb since Aug. 9, when Michael Brown, a black teenager, was shot to death by Darren Wilson, a white police officer. But trouble flared hours before the deadline Sunday.
By around 8 p.m., groups of teenagers began fighting near a convenience store that has been a gathering point during the week-long protests. Witnesses reported seeing guns, and people began sprinting away from the area. Multiple peaceful demonstrators told TIME that the perpetrators were rival gang members who were not part of the protests....

Oh. We thought the black hwy patrol cop was going to fix everything like Obama did That’s what he said Its what they all said. He came in to show the local cops how it’s done ‘cause they don’t know
Or mustard gas.
It’s not live, though it says that on the screen. I’m still looking for a live feed — and some more popcorn.
From a scanner listener:
According to the scanner earlier, the whole thing started when the Mcdonalds called to say there were looters there, and they locked themselves in, they asked the cops for evac, and the protestors would not give way. That’s when the riot gear came in.
Also per scanner, car accident was car vs cop (Car hit the cop at a high rate of speed.)

If I remember correctly, the local police had the rioting shut down for a night before the state police came in.
People trashed them for doing it, and now we have this.
the state Police went in and treated the locals very disrespectfully on national TV and moved in a black cop to take over whom everyone on Fox bowed to, oh he’s wonderful. It smelled
bout time for a hillary clinton reset button don-cha know!!
this is why the 2nd amendment exists for the citizen.
and this shows why limiting the number of ammunition in a magazine will only benefit a criminal intent on bodily harm.
I’ll be listening to St. Luis talk radio tomorrow to hear what it is like to live there. God bless the innocent. I hope there are none who are trapped, and if they are afraid to go out, that they have provisions.

No $15 per hour wages, no peace.
They’re not living the dream, they’re creating a nightmare and that ain’t too cool. They’re going to wake up some day and regret the whole thing...until it happens again. It’s that addictive to them. What is it about their inability to understand that acts of civil disobedience are often illegal as are violent acts of resisting arrest?
They aren’t human and they can’t think past their next meal, next weave or next pair of Jordans.
Yeah...that's TOMORROWS problem....but today...gotta go getsmedat 22" spinner wheels fo my caddy!
