Protesters, Police Clash in Ferguson, Missouri, Looters Return

Cops release name of alleged Brown killer and video purporting to show Brown committing a strong-arm robbery after a relatively calm night Thursday

Anger spurred by the death of a black teenager at the hands of a white police officer boiled over again when protesters stormed into a Missouri convenience store -- the same one Michael Brown was accused of robbing.

Police and about 200 protesters clashed in Ferguson, Missouri, late Friday after another tense day in the St. Louis suburb that began with authorities identifying the officer who fatally shot Brown as 28-year-old Darren Wilson. At the same time, Ferguson Police Chief Thomas Jackson released documents alleging Brown had stolen a $48.99 box of cigars from the convenience store and strong-armed a man on his way out.

Destruction of property is what happens when the police back off too much. Where were they last night? They definitely weren't protecting the business owners property.

The highway patrol didn't receive military equipment, apparently.

Plus, these people are looting their own neighborhood, not some rich white suburbs. Those cops are racists, you know.
