As Twitchy reported early this morning, another night of protests in Ferguson, Mo., included agitators throwing frozen bottles of water at police, as well as rocks and other objects.
Officers are being hit with rocks and bottles. We continue to support free speech, but agitators who ignore orders to disperse risk arrest.

Someone just threw a glass bottle, protesters screaming at them to not do that #Ferguson

Then there’s this clown, whose pitching arm wasn’t up to the task of throwing a traffic barrier at a line of police.
Then you have fearless protesters who will throw a road barrier at police and give zero f's. Power to you brother ✊? pic.twitter.com/pWsyxxFScx

In anticipation of another night of violence, St. Louis County is getting prepared — apparently by sending in the St. Louis County Highways and Traffic Department to round up all the loose rocks in the area.
