FERGUSON, Mo. - Protesters in Ferguson have won a lawsuit filed against police in federal court, according to reports on Thursday.
a federal judge listened to testimony from three protesters who complained of excessive police tactics while dispersing crowds in Ferguson.
In a temporary restraining order, a U.S. District judge ordered police to warn crowds before firing tear gas and to allow reasonable time for people to disperse first.

Further in the short story, ABC pastes protestors in a bad light by pointing out the fires.
But, still...a court victory.

don't point guns at armed white people.
In the case of black people who you THINK may be armed, kill first, ask questions later.
No matter how young they are.
