Unrest in Ferguson

Ferguson, Missouri irrupted into a state of unrest after the grand jury's decision not to indict Officer Darren Wilson in the shooting death of Michael Brown.

At least a dozen buildings were torched and looted, many of them local businesses that police said were total losses. Buildings that were torched include Little Caesars, Autozone, Walgreens, Sams Meat Market, Luis Fish and Chicken Grill, Beauty World, Public Storage, JC Wireless. Rows of cars at a dealership and 2 police cruisers were also damaged. Gunshots from the angry crowd were reportedly heard.

"What I've seen tonight is probably much worse than the worst night we had in August," the police chief said.

More than 80 arrests were made and that there were no serious injuries.

Officer Wilson's grand jury testimony was released after an announcement. In his testimony he claimed that Brown looked like a "demon" during the deadly confrontation.

Wilson was also quoted as saying ,"I mean it was, he's obviously bigger than I was and stronger and the, I've already taken two to the face and I didn't think he would, the third one could be fatal if he hit me right ...Or at least unconscious and then who knows what would happen to me after that."

Photos of Wilson taken after the encounter that show his injuries from the confrontation were also released. In them it appeared to be a bruise on his face and a mark on his neck. These were previously unreleased photos.

As about 1,000 vocal protesters gathered on Ferguson's main street to learn the grand jury's decision, Brown's mother, Lesley McSpadden, cried out in anguish while standing on top of a car according to the Huffington Post.

"Everybody wants me to be calm," she said. "Do they know how those bullets hit my son? What they did to his body as they entered his body?"

President Barack Obama spoke to the nation and asked for people to remain calm, however it was too late for those requests. Some of the demonstrations turned into violent riots.
