(Video) Missouri Residents Succumb To Tear Gas & Rubber Bullets As Protests Over Mike Brown’s Death Continue

This is absolutely disturbing. Days after Michael Brown, 18 was shot and killed by a Ferguson, Mo police officer, residents continue to riot and protest. Men, women and children are on the scene with their hands in the air chanting, “don’t shoot!” Monday evening, armed with face masks, police threw tear gas into the crowd of shouters along with the propelling of rubber bullets into what was called a, “war zone.” Officials in the area say that there have been about 15 arrests during this time period, but none were seriously injured. As things slowly begin to simmer down, the FBI announces that they will be investigating potential civil-rights violations of shooting. United States attorney general Eric Holder said that a thorough investigation is “critical for preserving trust between law enforcement and the communities they serve.” Surely, that ship has sailed. The police have yet to release the name of the officer involved in the shooting, but said they will do so Tuesday afternoon. Be on the lookout. Until then, hit the jump for Monday night’s scene.
