FERGUSON.
AT THAT POINT IT WAS TIME TO
SHUT IT DOWN.
LIVE PICTURES FROM FERGUSON,
MISSOURI.
THIS IS A TOWN TORN ABOUT BY AN
UNARMED 18-YEAR-OLD SHOT AND
KILLED BY A POLICE OFFICER ON
SATURDAY.
PEOPLE HAVE TURNED TO
VIOLENCE AND LOOTING STORES.
AS YOU CAN SEE, POLICE OFFICERS
ARE LINED UP READY FOR ANYTHING
THAT COULD HAPPEN.
SEVERAL ARRESTS WERE MADE
OVERNIGHT.
OUR CREWS HAVE BEEN TALKING TO
PEOPLE AND HEARING THEIR
STORIES.
ELI, WHAT'S THE LATEST?
WELL, THINGS HAVE CALMED DOWN
IN THE LAST HOUR.
THERE IS STILL SOME TENSION IN
THE AIR, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU
LOOK OVER MY SHOULDERS AND YOU
SEE THESE HEAVILY ARMED
DEPUTIES.
IN FACT, EARLIER TONIGHT THERE
WERE A LOT MORE OFFICERS BEHIND
THEM.
TONIGHT, WE SAW THAT LID THAT
PEOPLE TALKED ABOUT BENT BUT
DIDN'T BREAK, ESPECIALLY AS
NIGHT FELL.
FACE-TO-FACE AND YET SO FAR
AWAY, A THIRD NIGHT OF TENSION.
YOU CAN SEE THE GENUINE ANGER ON
THIS WOMAN'S FACE AND THE FACES
OF SO MANY OUT HERE.
LIKE THE NIGHT BEFORE, THIS ONE
STARTED AT DUSK.
AND LIKE THE NIGHTS BEFORE,
THERE IS A FEELING A BREAKING
POINT COULD
HAPPEN AT ANY TIME.
FIRST DEPUTIES CAME IN ARMED
WITH JUST BATONS AND READY FOR
ARRESTS.
AFTER A FEW MINUTES, THEY WERE
REPLACED BY HEAVILY ARMED
OFFICERS.
IT WAS CLEAR, THEY WEREN'T
MESSING AROUND.
IT'S HEARTBREAKING.
IF A ONE-ON-ONE INTERVIEW,
PERG SON POLICE CHIEF THOMAS
JACKSON TOLD ME -- WE ARE
GETTING INTERNATIONAL FLAIR
RIGHT NOW?
IT IS SO NONREFLECTIVE TO
WHAT THE CITY IS.
AT THIS RALLY, MORE YELLING
AND MORE POLICE STANDING GUARD.
THEN AS SOON AS IT STARTED, THE
PROTESTORS STARTED WALKING INTO
THE NIGHT.
FOR HOW LONG IS ANYONE'S GUESS.
NOW BACK HERE LIVE, I WANT TO
GIVE YOU KIND OF A LAY OF THE
LAND RIGHT HERE.
YOU CAN SEE THE PROTESTORS HAVE
COME BACK WITHIN THE LAST 20
MINUTES OR SO.
IF YOU COME BACK TO ME, YOU CAN
SEE OVER HERE, THIS IS WHERE THE
DEPUTIES ARE AND THAT'S WHERE
THEY HAVE BEEN FOR THE LAST
COUPLE OF HOURS.
IT BEARS MENTIONING IT AGAIN.
THIS IS THE THIRD NIGHT AND YOU
JUST HAVE TO WONDER HOW MUCH
LONGER ALL OF THIS REALLY CAN GO
ON IN THIS SMALL TOWN OF
FERGUSON.
WE'RE LIVE HERE, ELI ROSE BEN
KMBC 9 NEWS.
10 MINUTES AWAY FROM THAT
SCENE, ANOTHER LARGE CROWD IS
GATHERING.
DON'T SHOOT.
HANDS UP, THE PACKED CROWD
CHANTING AT ST. MARK MISSIONARY.
THIS TIME RIGHT HERE OF
SURRERNEDER -- SURRENDER HAS
BECOME A MESSAGE MANY MICHAEL
BROWN SUPPORTS HAVE ADOPTED.
TONIGHT THE FAMILY OF MICHAEL
BROWN AND REVEREND AL SHARPTON
AND HUNDREDS CAME TOGETHER.
AT TIMES, WORDS AT THE PODIUM
BECAME HEATED.
THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST
TRAGIC CASES.
THIS IS ONE OF THE WORST POLICE
SHOOTINGS.
AND Y'ALL KNOW I'VE BEEN DOING
POLICE SHOOPT SHOOTINGS ALL
ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
AND RIGHT HERE IN ST. LOUIS,
THIS IS ONE OF THE WORST POLICE
SHOOTINGS EVER.
PRESSURE CONTINUES FROM
SHARPTON AND OTHERS IN ST. LOUIS
FOR LAW INFORCEMENT TO RELEASE
THE NAME OF THE POLICE OFFICER
