31 people had been arrested during a night of unrest that followed a day of largely peaceful protest. According to police. two handguns and a Molotov cocktail that he said had been confiscated during the night by authorities lay on a table in front of him. The majority-black town of approximately 21,000 has been roiled by unrest since the death of 18-year-old Michael Brown, who was fatally shot by a white police officer following a confrontation of some kind on the afternoon of August 9. Local authorities have fired tear gas and smoke canisters on an almost daily basis at protesters upset with the response to the shootings by Ferguson Police. Police told Fox news that protesters are using this incident as a cover up to commit criminal acts.
