The mood in Ferguson, Mo., on Tuesday, the fifth consecutive day of protests marking the one-year anniversary of the shooting death of 18-year-old Michael Brown, was significantly different than the unrest during the previous days.
More than 100 protestors had gathered along West Florissant Avenue in Ferguson Tuesday evening, but by midnight “only a few dozen people” remained, according to The Associated Press, which said the protestors gathered earlier “mostly mingled quietly along the side of the road. Some chanted, and a few held signs.”
Police, most wearing riot gear, appeared to outnumber protesters, AP reported, and police said no arrests were made during Tuesday’s protest.
