While national and international news media focused on the increasingly dangerous nighttime protests and looting in Ferguson, Mo., during the day, people from the area and around the country gathered in acts of civil disobedience in protest of the police killing of unarmed teenager Michael Brown. Despite the apparent safety of the daytime gatherings, large numbers of protestors, angry over police treatment and racial divides in the area, caused concern for police as tension was palpable. Even as protestors grew tired from over a week of nightly marches, the relatively quiet of Ferguson during the day hinted at the chaotic nights.
