Ferguson police seem set on making the Mike Brown situation even worse. Tonight protestors of the unjustified killing of an unarmed teenager are being met with rubber bullets and tear gas. Watch a live stream recording of the stream right here:
1.
Police have told the camera crews to stop filming, but they are refusing. This needs to be seen by the world, and we're glad those with cameras and on social media recognize that.
Update: The crowd reportedly fought back with rocks, bottles, and Molotov Cocktails. Police turned on the protestors when they were deemed as "no longer peaceful."

They said it suddenly got "unpeaceful." I was in the first two rows. Didn't see that shit. Only heard stuff suddenly firing off.
