Breitbart News will cover live updates of Monday’s continuation of the nightly clashes between protesters and police in the town of Ferguson, Missouri following the shooting death of Michael Brown. While protesters seeking prosecution of the officer who shot and killed Brown, another element in the unrest has been destruction and thievery at local businesses by rioters and looters.

" layout="responsive" width="600" height="480">1:10 AM EST: One constant tonight on how the police have been handling the media is that they are asking for “real media IDs” and have been heard on the live feed saying only “conventional media” will be allowed to participate in the media areas. It seems the police are trying to differentiate between old-style, network, cable, radio and print media people any anyone working for Internet-based outlets. –Warner Todd Huston

" layout="responsive" width="600" height="480">12:03 AM EST: MSNBC host Ed Schultz somehow blames the Tea Party for Ferguson’s riots and what the left is calling the militarized police response. –Warner Todd Huston
Schultz thinks that law enforcement feels “outgunned and they want to be prepared” because of the anti-government sentiment of conservatives.
So, to recap: the cops need this equipment to crack down on the Tea Party, but it’s injustice if they use it for anyone else… who’s actually rioting and looting.
