Cops Fire Tear Gas at Protesters As Unrest Returns to Ferguson

Read Time:1 Minute, 4 Second
Ferguson residents are unhappy again and engaging in demonstrations.

Once again, police are firing tear gas at out of control protesters in Ferguson, Missouri.  The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported that late Sunday officers arrested six demonstrators. Police said two officers sustained minor injuries when one was hit by a firework and another was hit by a rock.

A police car was damaged by a Molotov cocktail, and people reportedly smashed windows of the Ferguson Brewing Company and toppled a traffic signal. The Missouri city was the site of mass protests in 2014 after unarmed black teenager Michael Brown was killed by white police officer Darren Wilson. A grand jury failed to return an indictment again Wilson, as the evidence, primarily forensic, found that Wilson was acting in self-defense.

Demonstrator Lauryn Hudson told St. Louis Public Radio:

“I think that it’s not fair that we as black people have to continually go through this and not see any real change… And I want to make sure that I’m a part of making that change happen.”

Demonstrations have been taking place across the country to protest George Floyd’s death at the hands of police officers in Minneapolis.

Not see any real change. None so blind, I guess. Bomb throwing is a way of life so that’s how you deal with things. The last thing this idiot wants is justice because he’d have to give up burning and looting and throwing rocks. Sorry dude, you can kiss my white privilege.
