Following the shooting of Michael Brown, Ferguson residents took to the streets to protest what many view as unfair treatment of the black community. Police responded with a highly armed presence meant to contain demonstrators and prevent violence.

The protests were at one point very volatile from day to day and hour to hour. Sometimes the atmosphere was essentially festive, with police taking little to no action against demonstrators. Other times reports of thrown objects, gunshots, Molotov cocktails, and looting prompted police action, and the situation often spiraled into further chaos. Protesters and media also complained that police at times moved in when the demonstrators were acting largely peacefully, which caused the situation to unnecessarily escalate.
