So that happened overnight. The crowd in Ferguson wasn’t pleased, so they burned some cars and some buildings to punish people who had nothing to do with the incident, according to the Associated Press<\/a>. Because that’s how we act these days – if the law doesn’t do what you think it should do, you should act out.<\/p>\n

Smoke billowed from some businesses Tuesday morning and shattered glass covered the sidewalks in front of others, but the streets in Ferguson were mostly clear.<\/p>\n

Monday night’s destruction appeared to be much worse than protests after August’s shootings, with more than a dozen businesses badly damaged or destroyed. Authorities reported hearing hundreds of gunshots, which for a time prevented fire crews from fighting the flames.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Associated Press<\/a> reported parts of the testimony of Darren Wilson to the grand jury;<\/p>\n

Wilson said he asked a dispatcher to send additional officers, then backed his vehicle in front of Brown and his friend. As he tried to open the door, Wilson said, Brown slammed it back shut. Wilson said he pushed Brown with the door and Brown hit him in the face. Wilson told grand jurors he was thinking: “What do I do not to get beaten inside my car?”<\/p>\n

Wilson said he drew his gun and threatened to shoot if Brown didn’t move back, fearing another punch to the face could “knock me out or worse.”<\/p>\n

“He immediately grabs my gun and says, ‘You are too much of a pussy to shoot me,'” Wilson said, saying he thought he would be shot when Brown dug the gun into the officer’s hip.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Well, I guess Wilson was less of a pussy than Brown thought. Protesters gathered outside the White House, too, for some stupid reason. <\/p>\n

Do I think that a fistful of cigars are worth the life of a man? Nope, absolutely not, but it looks like Brown made the decision to pay for those cigars with his life. Wilson decided that his own life wasn’t worth the cigars either. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
