Several Local stations are showing life feeds of massive rioting and looting in Ferguson, Missouri in the wake of the shooting death of Michael Brown, an unarmed 18-year-old as he was walking down the street, Saturday afternoon.
According to reports, Brown’s body lay on the scene for hours as hundreds took to the streets of this St. Louis suburb in angry protest. Heavily armed law enforcement and riot-control officers from 15 different departments gathered as the incensed crowd called for justice, screaming obscenities and shouting “Kill the police.”
Wesley Lowery, who covers Congress and National Politics for the Washington Post, was arrested earlier this evening as well as Ryan J. Reilly, justice reporter for the Huffington Post.
