After two nights of using tear gas and rubber bullets to break up crowds demonstrating against the killing of Michael Brown, cops in Missouri are asking for respect. In a statement this afternoon, Ferguson police say they "are working to restore confidence in the safety of our community and our neighborhoods so that we may begin the healing process." But in order to do so, "We ask that any groups wishing to assemble in prayer or in protest do so only during daylight hours in an organized and respectful manner."
