At least 150-300 protesters broke curfew tonight and are on the street in Ferguson.
Rain is helping to clear out people. Most activity happening around the QT now. (Antonio French)
The protesters are “ready to die” tonight.

It’s not tear gas, it’s smoke. As moronic as this may sound, the police promised they wouldn’t use tear gas and they are keeping their promise.
Wonder just how many are part of the New Panther Group? Probably a majority. The rest are just followers of violence and theft (mostly looking for free goods I’s suspect).
Too much like bathing for the rabble's liking, I suppose.
Well, that is just stupid action by the police! They should use all necessary action (at this point) to protect the residents and businesses. It’s way past time to tender to the protesters...
Guess, we’ll know when the dust settles.
Well, that’ll send the message.
Hopefully they clear without too many problems
Seems the rain is clearing them.
From CBS News:
FERGUSON, Missouri - Police in riot gear fired smoke canisters on a group of protesters who defied a midnight curfew Sunday morning in a St. Louis suburb where a black teen had been shot by a white police officer while walking down the street.
Hundreds of other protesters left peacefully before the midnight to 5 a.m. deadline took effect in Ferguson, Missouri.
I guarantee you that most other worlds government officials, from the leader’s palaces all the way down to the dog catcher’s offices, are watching this and laughing their heads off.
I didn’t see many in that crowd who looked like William Shatner. Or Ernest Borgnine either, for that matter. LOL
The ‘protests’ will continue until welfare check day
“While walking down the street....” Leave it to CBS.
I thought when the state police took over all the rioting was supposed to stop cause they're "more diverse" and "nonmilitarized".
HA, who fell for that one?????
Lawless creeps.
The Communist News Network is also reporting it as smoke.
Not really, it is just that is seems they look for a reason to ransack and loot! Seems to be a Black thing these days!
Tell me the last time that Mexicans or Asians looted and robbed stores, broke windows, etc...?
