Some of the protesters then turned to forcible entry, then the looting and the fires started. Cars and businesses mostly. 25 structures torched in all. 82 arrests were made last night. All of it because a grand jury did not return an indictment against the white Police Officer who shot and killed Michael Brown, an unarmed black teenager. There were protests in other cities as well, but nothin
