Streets of Ferguson smolder after grand jury declines to indict officer

CNN reports:

This was Ferguson early Tuesday morning.

Shattered glass from looted stores covered the asphalt. The smoke of tear gas lingered in the cold air. And more than a dozen buildings, including stores owned by local residents, were inexplicably set ablaze.

"This ain't Iraq. This is the United States," Demetric Whitlock yelled to a line of police officers on South Florissant Road, in front of the Ferguson Police Department.

The sad moments of Blue America.
