Last Night in Ferguson (8/10/15): In a word, chaos. Shots rang out sometime after 11. Police claim that they were gang-related. A plainclothes officer shot and critically injured 18-year old Tyrone Harris, a friend of Mike Brown’s. Knowing some of the organizers in Ferguson, the “gang truces” established last August have held fairly steady. The idea that they would have chosen last night of all night’s to fire up is difficult to believe. What followed was something out of last year’s police state playbook. Tear gas and rubber bullets were fired indiscriminately by the police at peaceful protester. Harris remains in critical condition, and while today was already intended as a day of civil disobedience, new protests are being planned. This is Ferguson, one year later. #staywoke #farfromover
