As reported earlier, the governor of Missouri announced earlier his afternoon that starting midnight, a curfew will be imposed on Ferguson until 5 am as part of the state of emergency unviled by the governor. The only problem is that with about an hour to go, the protesters have filled the streets and are refusing to disperse, even as police in riot gear is present and roadblocks have been setup.

The local police have cordoned off local storefronts as if expecting a repeat of last night’s looting, which suggests that everyone now expects that the imposed curfew will be violated
