Mo. (Reuters) - Hundreds of demonstrators in Ferguson, Missouri, angry at the shooting death of a black teenager by police took to the streets in the rain on Saturday night, hours ahead of a planned curfew called for by the state's governor.
Missouri Governor Jay Nixon has declared a state of emergency, as he and other officials seek to restore order after a week of racially charged protests and looting over the shooting of an unarmed black teenager by a white police officer.
The curfew will run midnight until 5 a.m. CDT (0500 to 1000 GMT) until further notice, said Highway Patrol Captain Ron Johnson. Johnson was named by the governor this week to oversee security in the suburban St. Louis community that has been roiled by the Aug. 9 shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown.
The mood among hundreds of protesters on a main road in Ferguson that has been the scene of recent demonstrations was tense and defiant on Saturday night, in marked contrast to the festive atmosphere of Thursday. Scores of police in bullet-proof vests lined the sides of the road in the rain.

And how does Nixon intend on enforcing the curfew?
Just pass out some Free Wal Mart cards and Burger King coupons.
Multi agency task force already on ground with riot gear...
This has all the feel of turning out being the worst night of rioting and looting in the past week.
And the authorities will let it happen
We have a break down of law and order from top to bottom from Obama and Holder down to Travis County. The rule of law has broken down. So why expect the street crowd to obey a curfew. This curfew will soon turn into a joke.
Welcome to America 2014 courtesy of NARAL, Planned Parenthood, White single females, Jews, GLTB, Hollywood hypocrites; SEIU, NEA, and the liberal media that have effected this fundamental change.
But will they be allowed to respond?
I think if the governor comes back to Ferguson and kisses Al Sharpton’s bare ass in the middle of the street
on national TV again it would quiet things down.
Just like it did last time.
I’m not staying up to follow what happens but its going to be TSHTF at 0115 EDT.
StL used to have some nice strip clubs. Just give these lost souls free passes and a pitcher of beer. Problem solved. For tonight anyway...
Blacks get shot every day and every night by other blacks.
Goes on day after day night after night month after month year after year.
Black mothers, fathers, kids all the time shot dead, mostly by black gangbangers like the Crips and Bloods.
Black response?
*crickets* *crickets* *crickets*
Cop shoots ONE black guy after he robs a store?
RIOT RIOT RIOT LOOT LOOT SMASH DESTROY RIOT!
Of course they’re going to go out late and riot, it’s not like they have to get up and go to work or anything.
Yep it’s revealing
They don’t care a whit about black lives they just like using stuff like this as an excuse to lash out at cops and whites in general.
It’s raining, lightning and thunder. Heavy storms at times.
That could well make a difference.
