CNN is covering this live right now. Interesting enough FNC has not. There is a case that was thrown out concerning Occupy Chicago protestors in 2012. Read here cause those people in Ferguson have every right to assemble themselves on the streets per the First amendment and the cops have no right to infringe on that right. www.suntimes.com/news/met...cago-protesters-case.html

.....they have very right to assemble themselves on the streets...

Not if they're intoxicated in public, which many of last night's grieving revellers were.

That's not what I got from talking with many of the protestors. Perhaps, CNN or KMOV was implying that by what the cops were telling them. They will be having a march in Ferguson at 6 a.m. today. Many of them are still camped outside until then. There were over 200 protestors there. And they are not leaving!

Perhaps the 200 protesters you speak of had good intentions...initially.
However what went down later in the evening was a different kettle of fish.
The "protesters' who showed up were violent looters and rioters. They outnumbered the good intentioned peaceful protesters significantly. Even the "well intentioned" protesters were packing heat and taunting police.
There's the problem - when violent individuals put other Americans' lives and properties at risk - it's not a 1st amendment issue any longer - "protest" should not threaten and attack the rights of others - what's happening in Ferguson in the evenings is a law enforcement issue, not peaceful protest. These are criminal actions that "protesters" are engaged in after hours when TV cameras aren't running. You are deluding yourself if you believe otherwise.

Saturday marked a week since a white Ferguson officer, Darren Wilson, shot and killed 18-year-old Michael Brown on Aug. 9. The shooting ignited racial tension in the mostly-black suburb and has led to looting and several run-ins between police and protesters.
Patrol Capt. Ron Johnson said the timing of police action on Sunday was coincidental.
Police received a report that people broke into a barbecue restaurant and some were on the roof - creating a potential danger for officers trying to disperse the protesters. Police were responding to that report - not the fact that protesters were still on the street after curfew, Johnson said.
Things got worse when a man with a handgun went into the street as police were nearing the restaurant. He ran away, but there was plenty of violence. A man was shot and critically wounded in the same area. Police were searching for the shooter. Someone shot at a police car - it wasn't clear if it was hit.
Jayson Ross, who was leading the protesters toward police before the canisters were fired, said: "They got guns. We got guns. We are ready."...
...Members of various black community groups were urging people to abide by the curfew, which runs from midnight to 5 a.m. Sunday, reports CBS affiliate KMOV-TV in St. Louis. A woman from the New Black Panther Party walked the street with a bullhorn, telling the crowd: "Please, please be out of the area by 12 o'clock."
Some responded to her pleas by cursing at police, while others acknowledged they planned to leave before midnight.
But Keyon Watkins, a 26-year-old computer science worker from St. Louis, said that if many others stay in the street, he would join them.
"All of this is just building up -- pent-up aggression by being mistreated on a daily basis," Watkins said.
