So...protesters are on the side of the road, and one of them decides to stand (a) in the middle of the road, (b) at night, (c) while wearing black. Imagine that...he gets hit by a passing car.
Of course, what is the appropriate response to this? Gunfire!

Ferguson police said in a statement that several people chased the car and opened fire, striking the vehicle numerous times but not the driver. A second nearby car was also hit by gunfire. Police are asking for the public's help to identify the shooting suspects.
Spokesman Jeff Small told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch police don't believe the driver intentionally struck the protester.
"By all accounts, her version of what happened seems to fit the version of what happened to a person driving down a busy West Florissant Avenue and not seeing a person standing there," Small said.
