But the peace train is back...
Following the death of another young black male in St.Louis [20], tonight has all the possibility of being another one of violence in Ferguson, Missouri. However, for now, there have been several arrests. In general police presence is notably less militarized, but in the last few minutes, tactical teams have started to rollout as protesters march chanting "hands up, don't shoot" or "justice for Mike Brown." Missouri Governor Jay Nixon commented, the Mike Brown shooting has "ripped open old wounds," and calls for "vigorous" prosecution.
