61 Arrested in Ferguson

Worse than riot in August.

Police say 61 people were arrested last night in Ferguson, Missouri on a variety of charges, including burglary and trespassing. Protesters smashed windows out of police cars and buildings, several of which were later looted and set ablaze, and officers lobbed tear gas from inside armored vehicles to disperse crowds. St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar told reporters at least a dozen buildings were set afire, two police cars among the many cars burned, and about 150 shots fired. “What I've seen tonight is probably much worse than the worst night we ever had in August, and that's truly unfortunate,” said Belmar. He said there was "nothing left" on West Florissant between Solway Avenue and Chambers Road.
