Some protestors are shouting profanity at police and members of the media. One building is engulfed in flames and is destroyed. CNN reports the building is a Little Caesars pizza restaurant.

Like managing a brush fire? Just contain it and let it burn itself out?
Best comment of night.
No, actually. Try one out.
Black friday sales started early
Little Caesar has hired Basement Cat. Be afraid. Be very afraid.
Looters and arsonists should be shot on sight. If police want to defuse this by standing by, at least they could bring lots of lights and cameras to identify people for later prosecution. Otherwise, as we seem to be seeing, rioters, looters, and arsonists are loose animals with no apparent care about the consequences of their violence.
KMOX currently said that a full one-fourth of town now either gone or going up in flames.
Reports of Walgreens being looted. Plus a laundry-mat on fire.
When the sun comes up I wonder if there will be anything left.
You must understand that we can’t prosecute an unequal number of people of color!
Tomorrow, they should rename the town ‘Detroit’.
If I was a responsible well-adjusted black person, I would not want to be equated with - nor believe how Michael Brown was dealt with - would be how I would be dealt with.
Why all blacks equate themselves with how a black thug is taken down is ridiculous. You only feel that way if you are a thug yourself and what Brown did was what you’d have done too.
When white thugs get shot doing criminal behavior and attack the responding cops, I do not believe the cops would do that to me. I am not a white thug violent criminal. Why would I assume they’re going to do that to me? I don’t look like a thug, I don’t act like a thug, I don’t walk around with attitude or looking for people to piss me off.
Either that or Dresden. Nothing left but smoldering ruins by dawn.
You know the Home Depot and Employment office have been untouched.
Pray America is waking
This has been trumped up from the get-go.
The President’s comments tonight, while urging calm out of one side of his mouth, he also indicated that “anger is an understandable reaction,” out of the other.
What? This man is making things worse...again.
The grand jury heard all the testimony. It no billed the officer for a reason. This thing was trumped up from the get go just like the hoodlum in Florida. The 18 year old was a thug who committed felony robbery and then assaulted the officer. Then, when the assaulted officer was able to get out of his car and tell the big thug to stop, the this huge 18 year old charged the officer, who then shot him.
The National Guard should shoot all the looters.
These business owners pay taxes for police protection. If the police are overwhelmed, I understand that, but the National Guard should have military equipment available to deal with these looting scumbags and arsonists.
Where are the MRAPS?
““anger is an understandable reaction,” out of the other.”
I get angry sometimes but I don’t go looting and burning stuff down.
They are probably unaware of what an Employment Office is.
Obama’s speech was a clear statement of support for the Brown family and, by extension, the violence and looting.
This whole cluster has been a media driven joy ride from the git go. Even in our states, an 18 yr old would have been refered to as a man, not child, not teenager, a man. A man, shot dead, assaulting an officer.
Give them a few more nights and they will take care on anything that survives tonight.
