Gov. Jay Nixon signs exec. order to send Missouri National Guard to Ferguson

protesters throwing water bottles

Less than 10 minutes to midnight, aka SHTF hour. I'm hoping that scanner mention of people opening fire on the cops at midnight turns out to be bunk.

Ehhhh, wait a minute, someone chucked a bottle. God dammit. What is it with this time of night & morons?

police moving in

Here it comes.

Wait for it................

Oh well.....

The defiant Thomas the train engine

Did that guy just say the police pointed a gun right in his face?

There is a lot of movement on CNN

< facepalm > And a phone was jacked, too. Now they're telling people to disperse. Yeah, this doesn't look good.

Yes he did

Stampede.

Gunshots

According to Tim's feed.

Update: But Tim says no confirmation of live fire.

looks like the threat was good

Up to the point of the water bottle being thrown...this was a great example of a protest...

I dislike there is only a few that are causing the trouble and makes this go violent in a snap of a finger...what I do like, is that the community itself is starting to take control. You see these other people trying to calm everyone down and tell everyone to behave?

Report of Officer Wilson being cleared.

Pray this one isn't true.

Was that a protective line in front of the cops some of the protesters just did? That was kind of awesome. Admirable, really

It's the witching hour.... And it was going so well.

Sad.

Sounded a lot like Gunshots to me

I just don't get how a water bottle being thrown can lead to all of this.
I get that the police don't have to stand for water bottles being thrown at them and that they won't and people NEED to understand that, just seems crazy to me that a whole night of peace is ruined by a couple water bottles
