For most of Tuesday night protests in Ferguson, as well as the rest of the country, have been more peaceful than last night, but now the situation has escalated with a group of protestors destroying another police car. The cruiser was reportedly flipped over before being set on fire. Police quickly surrounded the car and put out the blaze.
We'll have more information as protests continue across the United States.
