* Two Walmart stores have locked away bullets as violent clashes escalate.
* First time bosses have done this since pulling guns after Sandy Hook.
* Protests in Ferguson over Michael Brown's shooting show no sign of ending.
* 43 people were arrested in and around the Walmart stores on Monday.
* Renewed outrage expected today over leaked report of the officer's account.
Ammunition has been pulled from the shelves of two Walmarts in Ferguson amid violent clashes over the police shooting of Michael Brown.
Employees were ordered to lock all bullets in a store cupboard on Monday after demonstrators stormed one of the stores and formed a barricade outside another.
Bosses in Ferguson and nearby Maplewood revealed they took the precaution in fear of looting and violence as racial divides in the Missouri city show no sign of resolve.
It is the first time Walmart has taken such action since the Sandy Hook massacre in 2012, when assault rifles were removed from shelves in Connecticut.
Addressing Ferguson, Walmart spokesman Brian Nick told KMOV-TV: 'If there is a history of violence and looting and other activity that are going on or things that are putting associates and customers at risk - then yes, decisions can be made based on those circumstances.'
Customers who wish to buy bullets will have to discuss their intended purchase with a sales assistant, he said....

Anybody in that area who hasn’t stocked up already is a fool.
They should just let the grand jury determine that no indictment is warranted, give the officer a significant promotion and raise then let the ferals riot and just get it over with.
RAYSISUM!
That man will never work in law enforcement again. Just as George Zimmerman hasn’t been employed since the day he was first arrested.
Is this because people in Ferguson bring unloaded guns to a riot?
Yes, because you purchasing things when I have not been fully repaired for your ancestors oppression against mine, is racist, comrade.
Give your guns to the government so that we may all share in your bounty, comrade.
To do otherwise is racist.

Ammo is locked up in most stores anyway, but behind easily broken glass. Just saying, you need a sales associate to get the ammo anyway. All that changes is inability to scope out the inventory in advance of hailing the person with the key.
He can pick up cash here and there: http://www.wesh.com/news/central-florida/orange-county/george-zimmerman-signs-autographs-at-orlando-gun-show/24881564
I wonder what’s going on with this leaked grand jury report? Did it get leaked to soften the blow, if it turns out that the grand jury doesn’t indict the policeman?????
Why do liberals/black activists, who bitch constantly about racism and discrimination, latch onto questionable cases such as Michael Brown or Trayvon, to prove their point about racism and young black men being shot???
It makes no sense, yet there it is. Nothing is said by these people about the constant black on black shootings in our cities.
But a rare case in which a black man is shot by someone who is not black, regardless of circumstances, automatically is seen as evidence of institutional structural racism. Why is this???
Just wait til (if) there are no charges against the cop
Blacks have refused to assimilate...screw them.
Customers who wish to buy bullets will have to discuss their intended purchase with a sales assistant And we all know the Walmart sales assistant is a force to be reckond with!
My concern is this issue disrupting the World Series in any way! I have not looked at a map to know where Ferguson is located in relation to Tuesday nights game, but I hope it is not going to be a problem.
Agreed!
It’s 233 miles according to Google Maps. A straight shot on I70.
Just ask them if they remember who has been shutting down their stores and they will ring you right out.
That ain’t a job, FRiend. I wish I could contact him. If ANYBODY could sell my company’s services, it’d be him.
If the store is in danger of being looted, I can see it. Otherwise, not so much.
