Water bottle thrown. Chaos ensues. Not many protesters (more media than them). The few protesters left are just adamant and angry. #Ferguson

Shooting again. Tear gas probably soon. It takes nothing to set it off here.

I really hate to say it but they need these nightly skirmishes, w/o them the cameras leave and the pressure if off
 
I'm not saying that I advocate throwing harmless items at the cops, but they're seriously overreacting.  

Water bottles?  Bunch of trigger-happy d-bags.

From a macrocosm perspective, what would y'all suggest the solution is?
First, stop treating black n brown people as enemies as someone else said. Education needs to overhauled as well. They need to teach black n brown folks their REAL  history. They sure as hell teach European history. I also think the police need to hire more people of color n need to start interacting with the residents in a more peaceful manner (i.e. community cookouts, door-to-door introductions, just treating people like people) The people also need to register to vote, that way juries won't be so one-sided, as well as those in office. In Ferguson, in particular, I honestly believe there should be booths out there helping these people register to vote. I know it may sound corny, but they need to get out there n have their voices heard. They said something like 6% of voter turnout was black. That's outrageous it's a 2/3 black population n only 16% of the vote was by them. More of these business owners should consider running themselves. It will be take some time, but I feel this will help. The sooner we can get minorities into power, the sooner we can see some change.

Yeah, sadly we don't know the truth. Lord forbid our history shows we aren't as important as we think. It's still One Nation Under God.
