There are a thousand more better causes to riot over than this fiasco. What ever happen to nonviolent protest?

Exactly...Ferguson has been leveled, businesses destroyed, looting, riots, cops shot, 2 dead guys thus far, over a hundred arrests, cop cars burned, firemen being shot at for trying to put out fires, 2 FBI agents shot, news crews/press being assaulted...etc.
Schools were canceled, businesses shut down, Thanksgiving Day Parade canceled, concerts canceled, mom and pop shops losing $, employees losing pay needed for holidays...major impacts. Not to mention the property values of every home in Ferguson just plummeted.
Tonight will mark the 3rd night in a row. National Guard came in and helped a little last night, so hopefully with them around tonight, not much will happen. Scanners have been pretty eye opening to what Ferguson PD and all the other departments that have officers helping out, have to deal with.
It's pretty intense to hear 8-10 reports of "...shots fired..." per hour.
