Any one with a brain will establish a curfew.

The local news guy - older ones said never in their memory has anything like this happened in St. Louis area.

Summary of Unified Command Presser:

NO LOSS OF LIFE - Citizens or Officers.
29 arrests
12 fires - total losses
2 burned police cars

Immediately after the announcement, Police officers were pelted with rocks and batteries.

Chief Belmar said that he and Captain Johnson were in an area where the gunfire really lit things up and he is amazed that neither he nor any officers were hit.

Then there was glass breaking and gun fires, so they started to deploy tactical teams to protect businesses. Trash cans turned over and burned - police cars set on fire. Very fast and quickly out of control.

Captain Ron Johnson stated that he was extremely disappointed in the behavior, and he didn’t see any peaceful protestors. Tonight was worse than anything in August. August didn’t hold a candle to this.

Dellwood Firestation was reported to be on fire. Firemen are now at the scene of the fire on the auto lot.
