        @BBCBreaking If the crowd was throwing petrol bombs, why don't you see any fire near(or in front of) the cops? #NoFlameNoBlame

        @JackAndDino That's because there were no "petrol bombs" @BBCBreaking could confirm this with journalists actually on-scene, but hasn't

        @dogstar7tweets @BBCBreaking Or they could just ask that really simple question. "Where's the fire?"

        @JackAndDino That's right. Hey @BBCBreaking, do photos or video of molotovs in #Ferguson exist? If so, broadcast them. We'd like to see.

        @BBCBreaking @Conservamator How to stop Ferguson violence: Shoot looters, those who shoot at or throw objects at police. It will stop.
