Monday marked the second day of clashes between protestors and law enforcement in Ferguson, Missouri following the police killing of 18-year-old Michael Brown over the weekend. On Tuesday, calls for calm and accountability took place in the shaken St. Louis suburb.
Hundreds had marched in front of the Ferguson police station Monday night to demonstrate and mourn in the wake of the killing. The scene that followed has been described as a “war zone,” as police attempted to disperse the protests with rubber bullets and tear gas canisters.
On Tuesday, Brown’s family held a press conference, joined by the Rev. Al Sharpton, demanding justice in the aftermath of the teenager’s shooting.
Below are photos from the aftermath on Tuesday as well as some newly published images from Monday night:
