Police in Ferguson, Mo., were seen walking away from protesters earlier tonight, but we are now seeing reports that armored vehicles (the militarized vans that cop-bashers love to hate) are starting to move in.
All indications are that the police will use the heavy armored trucks to approach the protesters #Ferguson
