Amid chants of “No Justice, No Peace,” and “Time to Kill a Cop,” 47 protesters were arrested in Ferguson, Missouri Wednesday morning, August 20.
Things were peaceful throughout most of Tuesday night until urine and bottles were tossed at police around midnight, according to News 4.
Police arrested 47 people and confiscated three guns.
Captain Ron Johnson, with the Missouri Highway Patrol, said the troublemakers were younger people who came out after the older protesters began to disperse.
Johnson had to answer question from a woman who wanted to know why tear gas and smoke entered her home on Monday night.
“I talked to a lady who said ‘you put smoke and gas in my house last night in my home. Why?’ I said ‘last night there were gentlemen on the corner with handguns and if I don’t use tear gas, there is a gunfight between an officer and a citizen,”Ron Johnson said.
No tear gas or smoke was used Tuesday night, Wednesday morning.
