Ferguson Protesters Chant Were Ready for War
During Sunday nights protest on the anniversary of the shooting death of African-American man Michael Brown, Ferguson protesters chanted that they were ready for war.

The above video was tweeted out at 10:47 PM Central Time, which means the chant occurred before protesters exchanged gunfire with police officers shortly after 11. CNN also reports that some protesters were chanting Were ready for what? Were ready for war, during the protests.
