Violence Flares in Ferguson after Appeals for Harmony
At The New York Times, Alan Blinder and Tanzina Vega report from Ferguson, Missouri, “Hours ahead of a second night of a mandatory curfew, the most chaotic violence in a week of unrest broke out here Sunday evening, with law enforcement officers facing off against angry protesters and responding to reports of gunfire and fire bombs.” The evening clashes marked a contrast with the mood of the day, which was filled with church meetings that joined ministers, civil rights figures, parishioners, protestors, and police.
