Commentary: What It Was Like in Ferguson for One Week | News | BET:
Monday night in Ferguson was scary. I watched police launch smoke
bombs at protesters in front of QuikTrip, and when the smoke drifted
toward me, it took me a moment to realize what was happening. That's tear gas,
someone yelled. I felt the tear gas burning in my eyes, my nose, my
throat. I ran. Through a nearby car wash. I ran. Into the back lot of a
strip mall. I ran. Up the street. I ran. As far away as I could get from
the painful sting. This is America in 2014, where local police deploy weapons banned in warfare by the Geneva Convention.
