There have also been reports from many local citizens that protests were peaceful and in line with curfew when teargas was unexplainably fired at them.
Kastenbaum also mentions there was as specific incident with a protestor definitely walking toward police and being reportedly warned numerous times to stop who was definitely shot with rubber bullets. He also mentions there were children in the crowd of protestors all day and evening long.
CNN reporting 2 reporters from The Telegraph & Financial times have been arrested, very briefly by Captain Johnson, and were then released when police realized this was a bad look. Johnson is apparently furious that media is getting in the way.. Also that protestors threw Molotov cocktails at police.

They’re profiling press. Only letting white members of the press through. They fired on civilians, press, children. #ferguson
