In this video, police can be seen using tear gas against protesters outside of Ferguson City Hall after windows were smashed and a police car was set on fire. Police officers in full riot gear and carrying shields quickly extinguish the flaming patrol car shortly before a armored personnel carrier arrives and a voice over loudspeaker orders protesters to stop destroying property in the city of Ferguson.

A tense, hours-long standoff between police and protesters here ended in a fiery cocktail of chaos, vandalism, and tear gas on Tuesday night.
