Police responded to the incident quickly:

Several police cars guarding the W. Florissant business district now. A few police cars have sped away, presumably towards another scene.

Protesters were heard chanting, "We want an indictment," in reference to Darren Wilson, the Ferguson police officer who fatally shot Brown.
The 10 days of protests and violence following the shooting has cost St. Louis County more than $4 million, Garry Earls, the county CEO told KMOV-TV Tuesday.
Earls said $2.6 million will be used to pay for police overtime, $1 million for Ferguson residents, $170,000 to repair damage to police vehicles caused by protesters, and another $146,000 for food and supplies for first responders.
