Consequences of Curfew: Shooting & Tear Gas [video]



Are the people rioting and shooting using Michael Brown's murder as an excuse to misbehave? There are numerous reports that the ones rioting, looting and being violent aren't from Ferguson, but have driven there to capitalize on the anarchy.

As far as I know, the citizens if Ferguson have been peaceful and passive. The citizens of Ferguson are saying that the rioting and looting is caused by outsiders.

brought in by police to provoke a deadly confrontation, you think?

This was a common tactic during the sixties as well as with the Occupy Protestors.
