Crowd violence. What started as the peaceful protest over the Police Shooting of an unarmed teenager has become uglier and ever more ominous. The city has shut its schools, the National Guard is on the ground and the white house is dispatching attorney general eric holder there tomorrow. And maybe most sobering of all police say this tiny st. Louis suburb is now drawing troublemakers from as far away as new york and california. Anyone who has been at these protests understands that there is a dangerous dynamic in the night, it allows a small number of violent agitators to hide in the crowd and then attempt to create chaos. I want to encourage the good people of this area to come out and protest tomorrow during the daytime hours, make your voices heard, where you can be seen, and we are not the cover for violent agitators. Cnn has deployed its vast resources to cover all the angles of this rapidly developing story. Our correspondents, guests and experts will join to us wreak down all th

Jim cavanaugh, tell us what you will feel is the next steps on this case. What will happen in terms of the fbi investigating and in terms of how that works with local authorities. Right, reverend al. What the fbi will do is parallel or monitor the case as it is conducted by the st. Louis county Police Homicide bureau. I have a lot of faith in that Homicide Bureau. Theyre a good force. They will get the facts down on paper to the prosecutor. I think they will do it right. The distrust and i have been involved in a lot of these cases down through the years. Involved in many now as head of National Action network. The mistr

Police and from the state. The other one is the one thats done from the family. Its interesting here because of what happened last night at the confrontation with the police, the rowdy protesters. Not the peaceful ones. Ples shot tear gas yesterday. Every Single Person here today is sneezing and scratching their nose because of the amount of tear gas that was sprayed off here last night. I want to give you an idea of where we are and where the biggest commotion was last night. Thats right here. You see this canfield drive.

Michael browns father requested peace on this day, the day that he and his wife lay their son to rest. That request is being honored by the thousands of mourners gathered at this ceremony. Theres so many people there. They have to use an overflow room. For many people, Michael Browns death was a painful reminder of racial profiling and unequal treatment at the hands of Law Enforcement. I want to begin with don lemon outside the funeral service. Stephanie elam is on the street where Michael Brown was killed. I want to go first to don outside this church and don weve seen this really remarkable procession over the last severa
