In a chaotic press conference/shouting match Saturday afternoon, Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon declared a state of emergency and imposed a curfew on Ferguson, ordering people off the streets between midnight and 5 a.m. That angered many, who saw the curfew as giving the police free rein overnight.

Some even alleged that looting was allowed Friday night in order to justify the curfew.
