"Protesters late Tuesday and early Wednesday gathered around an ethnically diverse group of dozens of police officers, who stood between them and the scene. People in the crowd screamed at police. Others spoke more calmly.

What looked like a firework exploded near a gas pump, scattering people and temporarily filling the area with thick, white smoke, video from CNN affiliate KMOV showed.
Four people were arrested on suspicion of assaulting officers, Belmar said. One police officer was sent to an emergency room after injuring himself while trying to get away from the firework, Belmar said.

Another officer was treated at a hospital after being hit in the head with a rock or a brick, Belmar said."

Hopefully the thug who attempted to murder the police officer with the brick or rock will be charged with actual attempted murder. Stoning is an actual form of execution in other ares of the world.

On a broader note... what the fuck is wrong with this idiots? At least in the Brown situation there was SOME ambiguity (not much once all the facts go released but prior to that one could make a rational argument that the police officer was wrong. They would be wrong of course but it wasn't insane). There is none in this case. The thug pulled a gun on a police officer. Not only was the officer absolutely in the right but everyone should be celebrating the removal of a dangerous thug off the streets. Instead we get violent attempts of police murder like we saw in New York.
