FERGUSON, Mo. — The violence that has broken out in Ferguson following the grand jury’s decision to not indict Officer Darren Wilson is not what the Brown family wanted, family attorney Benjamin Crump told CNN. “They wish that people will not be violent” but be peaceful and constructive, he said.
CNN’s Jake Tapper reports that many protesters were peacefully assembled on the streets of Ferguson, but some turned violent.
Throwing bottles at police, smashing windows and turning over a police cruiser.
Some protesters picked up bricks and smashed the windows of a restaurant and Walgreens
CNN reports Ferguson Market & Liquor — the same store where Michael Brown had allegedly stolen cigars before his confrontation with Officer Darren Wilson in August — was being looted Monday night.
Police responded by lobbing tear gas, even though they said they were smoke pellets.
