There are now multiple reports from Ferguson, Missouri that a man was hit by a car while protesting the shooting death of Mike Brown. Video of the aftermath here:

There is some confusion as to what’s happening in real time. There are unconfirmed reports that both the man who was hit and the driver were both arrested:
“@stldagger: @AntonioFrench @OpFerguson @WesleyLowery @Jdstl314 pic.twitter.com/IjvQXkQQwb” // Woo got arrested too!

Although this report says the man who was hit is only being held as a witness:

Tensions look to be running high and there’s a call out on social media to march on the Ferguson Police Department’s HQ:

Instead of an ambulance being called, the bomb squad was called. Again, intern ran over by the KKK.

You are morally obligated to pay attention to what's happening re: #Ferguson. America never needed you more.

And so far, the MSM has been absent on covering the events:
The silence of the MSM on this STL PD course infuriates me. Step it up networks. You must tell this story. #Ferguson http://t.co/8BL1HbucGD
