where police have been firing much more tear gas than in previous nights sound cannons were used to l. rads we know that at least one protester was injured journalists were arrested and then released certainly lots of. tear gas was used when some families were still out with children out on the streets people are questioning why this violence is taking place an hour before the main hammock you can see behind me there is police in heavily heavy military gear and certainly they have not been hesitating to get quite violent with the protest of course all of this comes after the killing of eighteen year old unarmed michael brown by a police officer now it has to be said just about an hour before right now we were standing on a street corner between protesters and police and police were issuing threats to journalists saying get out of the way get out of that you're in the middle of a crossfire and we will shoot if you don't move so certainly the situation is quite hectic several nights in a row is including today our journalists have been tear gassed and you know just extreme may have been rumbl

throughout this entire week where police use more tear gas than in previous days including sound cannons l rads we do know that families with children were still out on the streets when tear gas had hit some of them this was quite an unprecedented situation when the united states even journalists were told to disperse otherwise they could get hit with tear gas or shots while standing in a crossfire or two journalists were arrested leader to be released certainly a very chaotic situation while all of this entire while this entire community is simply demanding answers to the quote to the question of why this young man had to be killed we talked to some people about the tear gas and what the future holds for this town take a listen i saw protesters in the street with their hands up and tell them shoot the police because you know let me move when you've been circling the protesters they started with you it's hard to raise a kid in the world like this where you have to worry about your business protect you in the form of people in this community is being the normal thing for police to be and just to

this entire week where police do use more tear gas than in previous days including sound cannons l rads we do know that families with children are still out on the streets when tear gas had hit some of them this was quite an unprecedented situation where in the united states even journalists were told to disperse otherwise they could get hit with tear gas or shots while standing in a crossfire two journalists were arrested leader to be released it's been over seven days since michael brown was murdered on august ninth and passions have not died down for any one of those nights here in ferguson as police become more and more militarized clashing with protesters certainly we're not expecting this tension to die down anytime soon unfortunately especially now with the national guard being deployed to the streets of ferguson to try to tackle the situation. the eighteen year old victim in ferguson was shown to at least six times four bullets hit his right arm and two it is it proving still that is the conclusion of a private autopsy the doctor that examined the body concluded all the bullets

acoustic hailing devices or long range the cue stick devices i think people are more familiar with the l. rad this is able to travel you know five hundred meters at a time very powerful powerful sound they're using this off the horn of africa to you know send loud messages to pirates but this is this is a very effective crafted turn it's actually already been in use for a few years here and then it's very. sound waves that you and it can actually move out of the way it can there's been reports that it produces it and it has a sick feeling in your stomach it was used in two thousand and eleven at the chicago nato protest it was used at the last super bowl it was used against occupy protesters this is you know it seems like science fiction and i mean it is very scary if they're able to do this today you know we're finding out you know a few years later what are they capable of doing today is the question right and also i mean i can totally incapacitate you making crap your pants here and there you know it's no laughing matter no it's not a lot of this is how powerful this thing is i mean pictur

just to few minutes ago with this sort of familiar l-rad crowd control noise. and -- tell me that. respond to that. there are people who say, basically, media presence here is essentially been fuel for the fire. >> there was fire before you came. and that doesn't make sense. had not the media been here -- let me tell you something. had not those journalists been arrested, been arrested and in trouble, maybe the world wouldn't have known about this in the same way. zuo need the media here to cover this, cover it the right way. people causing trouble, all 25-30 of those people -- >> is that what you think the number is? >> i didn't think is a it's as much as you see on certain news channel. some media are really paying attention to the looters. most of the people, you saw, when they're walking up and down the street, are peaceful people. nobody understands how this small am of people gets so much attention. one of the thing is want to emphasize -- >> i want to bring a tape -- craig do you have a report here? >> what you just said, an update from a producer on the ground two blocks up
