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.

No loot, no peace.
Is it so hard to turn the hydrants on and aim water canons on them? But with communication technology intercepting police interaction, I sincerely hope that the police are at least one step ahead with cryptic technology. I mean where is all the fancy gear they bought at wholesale prices from the military?
Its twitter rioting, flash mobbing. Roving bands of criminals. Not 1950.
Trayvon Martin family attorney is rumored to represent slain Missouri teen....wash and repeat. Soon the parents will be raising money and doing TV spots.
Too bad it ain’t Denver. They’d have looted the pot shops and everyone would be mellowed out by morning.
I fear like it was a few summers ago when the yoots attacked people in their cars coming home from the fair. Race grievance and the inappropriate reactions have been copycatted.
This has nothing to do with the kids death.........
What’s stunning is to read the tweets and websites of the black community...they will never let go of playing the victims no matter what justice is done.... it’s a mindset and no matter what is done will not change the fact.
Silent alarm now at Foot locker, manchster rd.
Attempted break-in at Target
Fox is rolling tape with “Media Buzz” with the stern looking Leslie Marshall in one of the talking heads boxes assuring us that Obama will not react with emotion to what is happening in Iraqi.
Thank you so much to all on the ground who are giving us the news updates and the tweets.
Agree caww. Educational to say the least.
Next nothing on the news about this. ABC and CBS are running live 24 hr coverage but only one report on either in the last hour.
twitter updates, are do you have a scanner feed?
Stealing and smashing stuff up is the common reaction for black people when they think something has given them a reason to do so...be it riots, death, prison, or anything or nothing at all...it’s always someone else’s fault.

LET THE RACE-HUSTLING BEGIN!!!
Didn’t they have rioters in the Bay area recently? Those stoners got violent. I am afraid these people may be on PCP or other drugs and that’s why they are so brazen.
Not twitter, listening to scanner radio, smart phone app, St louis feed.
All of this rioting, looting, and burning everything down has NOTHING to do with the victim. They COULDN’T CARE LESS about the victim. They just see it as a convenient excuse to destroy. And, of course, the libs are already saying,,,”what do you expect them to do?”
