Tear gas is out.

Why do they need to get out of the street? Who in their right mind would drive through Ferguson right now? Let them get their anger out so long as property is not damaged.

1. Yep, this is a good feed

"You need to get out of the street immediately or you will be subject to arrest."

I wonder if the people will try to hold the street?

[Cal Carpenter]

3. "The tear gas is out"

Crowd is chanting 'hands up don't shoot'

[Cal Carpenter]

4. Rubber bullets?

they were mentioned but I didn't see it.

People are throwing rocks.

5. Cops are itching to try out their new war toys against unarmed US citizens.

[Cal Carpenter]

6. Tear gas thrown, and then thrown back at the police

[Cal Carpenter]

7. Police are pushing forward in their massive vehicles

More tear gas, in residential areas, in the middle of the crowd

Collective punishment for the few who threw rocks

Tons of tear gas.

Fuck.

[Cal Carpenter]

8. A lot of protestors prepared with good masks

[etherealtruth]

17. Good!

9. I've been watching for 2 hours

Everyone was peaceful and PROTECTING BUSINESSES until the cops started indiscriminately shooting tear gas

[Cal Carpenter]

10. Uh oh, windows being smashed

someone's saying 'the looting has begun', although I'm not clear that very many people are doing that. There is a ton of tear gas and people all over the place.

[PAProgressive28]

12. Not in the area MSNBC is showing. Livestream is right there. Everyone trying to run now.

[Cal Carpenter]

13. I don't have cable so I'm split between a couple streams

I don't think there was really looting, it was something someone said right after some windows got smashed. But now there is a massive line of cops in front of this shopping center or whatever it is.

Treating people like animals. When they're the fucking pigs.


Surreal to have the big lit-up "Season's Greetings" sign hanging above the street while this is going on.

11. Rachel and Lawrence discussing this and it was said it is "not tear gas" but smoke

I really wish we could have this validated by the feet on the ground.

[Cal Carpenter]

15. The way people reacted I'm pretty sure it was tear gas

The people running the stream had decent masks and even they had problems.

[nc4bo]

16. Terrible. nt

[Cal Carpenter]

14. Was totally quiet/peaceful and tear gas for no reason

at a group of media people.
