| Subject: Ferguson riots: Urine thrown at deserving poLICE Thu Aug 21, 2014 12:08 am | |
| As darkness fell Tuesday, police and protesters braced for a repeat of late-night confrontations 11 days after an officer killed an unarmed black teenager.
About midnight, the streets near where 18-year-old Michael Brown was killed August 9 grew tense. Bottles filled with ice and water were thrown at police. So was urine. Police said “agitators” hid behind journalists. Officers stormed a press area hunting for perpetrators. In all, 47 people were arrested — one for the third time since protests began.
But Captain Ronald Johnson of the Missouri State Highway Patrol said a city torn by riots was beginning to heal.
