I'm back at my hotel near the airport. Me and @JstnMchl flagged down a woman in all of that chaos who got us out of there.

We were lost. A cop pointed a gun at us because we were running, trying to stay away from the tear gas and flash bombs behind us.

It occurred to me those officers had no way of knowing I was media. Not that they would have cared. I had to put my hands up and move slowly

The cops continued to yell at us from across the street. I couldn't understand them. I just kept my hands up, & yelled at others to do same

I literally felt trapped. We couldn't go back. But ahead of us, cops were pointing guns and yelling inscrutable orders at us.

Everyone was confused. There was literally almost nowhere to go. We went into a parking lot, and cars were peeling off all around us

And I guess my angel is Stacy Graham of Jerseyville, Illinois. I saw her backing up and asked her if she would give us a ride.

Dude. A white woman approached in a dark parking lot by two panicked black men? And she still told us to get on in.

Other stuff happened. But we're back at the hotel. My car and everything else is back at the McDonald's on West Florissant.

So I guess I have to trust I can get back into Ferguson in about five hours and that nothing will happen. What should I think about that?

One final thing. As @JstnMchl said: The police are the ones making this dangerous. They risked so many lives tonight for...I don't know why
