Night of violence prompts state of emergency in Ferguson cbsnews.com/amp/news/night… 
Sunday night's protests started peacefully, but then grew tense. Suddenly, dozens of gunshots. Even police chief Andre Anderson looked startled when he was interrupted mid-interview by gunshots.
Police say two groups of gunmen fired at each other.

"You are talking about people who are living at or below the poverty line. You are talking about people who are the products of failing schools, and so I look at the looting as part of survival."
Priscilla Dowden-White, a history professor at the University of Missouri – St. Louis: Ferguson's looting created conversations that likely would not have happened if only prayer vigils and other "normal" responses had happened.
"The looters, the robbers, the chanters, the nonviolent protests, the sign-making . . . all of it has value because it wouldn't be international if it wasn't for the looters," said Amari Sneferu, 54, of St. Louis.
"There was a guy who came out of a store with one hubcap rim. One. He can't drive or put that on his car. But he just wanted to take something. He just wanted to do something. That was his expression of outrage because a murderer is getting away with it."
He added that he was proud of young people for taking matters into their own hands and not conforming to past nonviolent tactics. #ProtestLockdown

The actions of looters and rioters in Ferguson had similar goals to nonviolent actions, said Keisha Bentley-Edwards, a professor at the University of Texas-Austin who studies race, adolescence and academic and social development.
Both--either through looting or bus boycotts--disrupted businesses, changed the status quo in communities, and called into question people's assumptions of safety.
"It got the media's attention," Latchison, of Florissant, said. "This is our generation's way of saying, 'You cannot quiet us down. You cannot tell us to shut up. This is our movement. You guys had your movement in the 60's and on.
Now, this is our time. You guys say we don't do anything, so this is us doing something.'" #ProtestLockdown
