About 10 police vehicles took off south on West Florissant. We've been told the National Guard is taking over. #Ferguson

Pastors and peacekeepers have won out for now. Drove hundreds of people back north along W Florissant. A feat.

Couple minutes ago a few bottles were thrown at police. Nights ago that would've been followed by gas.
