Mo' Fun In Ferguson, Mo.

FERGUSON, Mo. (KMOX) - Demonstrators and police officers faced off in Ferguson again overnight.

At one point, an estimated 150 to 200 demonstrators were on West Florissant.

Shots were heard, but no one was hit. Then looters hit the Beauty Town store for a third time in just over a month.

Juan Santos works at the store which had hung a sign reading, “Beauty Town is Back,” and is now boarded up again.

“We’re just gonna board it back again, and just go on,” he says.

Fires were set, but did little damage, at the Whistle Stop in the old train station on Florissant Road and the auto repair shop on Chambers that works on police cars.

A half-dozen protestors were arrested after some threw rocks and bottles at police who tried to clear West Florissant.

The demonstrations were apparently sparked by the early Tuesday morning fire that destroyed one of the Michael Brown memorials on Canfield Drive. Some believe police set the fire.

Police believe it was started by candles.

“We’re all saddened by the fire that was reported at one of the Michael Brown Memorials this morning and are trying to obtain as much information as possible to determine what happened,” Ferguson Police Chief Tom Jackson said in a statement. “At this time the cause is unknown.”

The investigation continues.

The so-called "Memorial" was a pile of stuffed animals, flowers, and other assorted junk. Clearly enough to riot over. (sarcasm)
