Molotov cocktails, looting and a few tense standoffs — between police and protestors and between protestors and other protestors — marked Friday night in Ferguson, Missouri.
As chaos swept the town, some store owners and protestors took it upon themselves to defend stores from looting.
“There are no police,” one store owner told KTVI-TV, saying that local law enforcement was giving store owners a run around, forcing him to take up arms to defend his store.
Peaceful demonstrations turned violent in Ferguson Friday as protestors descended on the town to decry the recent shooting of an unarmed young black man by a police officer.
