Watch: Ferguson Protesters Caught on Camera Chanting 4 Horrifying Words Just Before Shots Fired
Protesters gathered in Ferguson on Sunday [and Monday] to mark the one year anniversary of the shooting death of Michael Brown. Among the crowd were those chanting some disturbing words.
CNN reports that hundreds gathered near the location where Michael Brown was killed in a confrontation with Officer Darren Wilson on August 9th, 2014.
In the crowd some chanted, “We’re ready for what? We’re ready for war.” The chants came minutes before a man identified to be in his late teens shot at Ferguson police officers shortly after 11pm.
The unnamed man unleashed a “remarkable amount of gunfire” against the officers, St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar said. Plain clothes officers pursued him, exchanging fire and hitting him multiple times. He has been hospitalized and is reportedly in critical condition.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch identified him as Tyrone Harris, 18, a close friend of Brown’s.
“There is a small group of people who are intent on making sure we don’t have peace. That’s unfortunate,” Belmar said. “We can’t afford to have this kind of violence.” (Read more from “Watch: Ferguson Protesters Caught on Camera Chanting 4 Horrifying Words Just Before Shots Fired” HERE)
