Somebody in the press group says, "Hey get back. There's gunshot coming down through there. Turn that light off! Turn that light off! Jesus, fucking Christ." In the distance is a horn blaring.
Small group of police in riot gear are looking a bit disorganized. Conflicting orders?
People just kind of milling about.
Another voice in the press group: "Haven't had this much fun in quite a while."
And ow that group of riot-geared officers is on the move.
Digg.com has a camera amongst the protesters, not the police,but coverage is unreliable. Showing a man who got hit in the head by what they are saying was a teargas canister.
10:00 - cameraman says they are getting reports of the Walgreen's on South Florissant being on fire.
Nobody at this junction looks to be organized. People milling around. Military issue trucks and riot cops are gathered together. A black woman with a bullhorn has been going non-stop ranting at the police. But people are on the sidewalk. Protesters are shouting, "Go fight ISIS."
10:40: Bassem Masri (at Digg.com and at UStream) was live streaming video and commentary on what seems to be a group of protesters trapped in an area by police, when all of a sudden he stopped talking and started running. Turns out someone stole his phone.
