All hell broke loose in Ferguson, MO. Thursday night resulting in several arrests.
The protest began peacefully, Kmov St. Louis reported, but people were upset by Chief Tom Jackson’s apology earlier in the day.
Ferguson resident, Mary Chandler, told Kmov, “It wasn’t from the heart, he doesn’t feel like there’s any issue, like he did anything wrong, like his officer did anything wrong, they have no problem with the fact of their actions on their day, so no it wasn’t genuine he could’ve kept it, it was more of an insult than anything.”
Citizen reporters and journalists captured some of the melee on Twitter. Here are some of the pictures and video they posted:
