gunman and police are gearing up for what could be another night of protest. what is going on in the streets of ferguson right now. go back live to ferguson griff jenkins? greta, we are standing right where the officer stood last night when they were shot. senseless violence. tonight you can see nothing brewing with just one lone protester over there and then of course in front there is some barricades but there are no police officers. however, it could change very much so later tonight. we re going to be on the watch and there is a real danger here, which is what jeff, the executive director of the st. louis police officer s association told me a little earlier. there is others out here with violent indepositions. the reporting has been lopsided not your network. what has happened for seven months is ongoing attempts to kill and maim police officers. shots being fired at them.
