Gov. Jay Nixon has issued a curfew for the community of Ferguson, MO. as chaos returned to the streets early Saturday with hundreds of angered protestors continuing to clash with police officers following the shooting of unarmed black teen Michael Brown last week.

While there are people protesting peacefully, there are also protestors who taunt police officers and have violent intentions.

This sort of behavior didn't go well with authorities as reports show the clashes between protestors and police officers have involved measures like tear gas being shot into crowds after midnight.

The intense measures by the police force caused a mild panic among the protestors, which again led to more people looting stores and vandalizing property.

Retail storeowners were spotted trying to build barricades to keep people from looting them. Even a couple of owners who were seen standing outside of their establishment were reportedly holding guns.

"There's no police," one of the owners said. "We trusted the police to keep it peaceful, they didn't do their job."

Looting and clashes with Ferguson police force has been an ongoing occurrence since the initial shooting Aug 9. Authorities say the protests started out peacefully Friday, but things quickly turned awry when tear gas was fired later into the night.

The protestors started building barricades of their own using their vehicles to block the streets in between them and the police officers.

Gov. Jay Nixon is hoping the curfew can stop all these incidents from happening. The curfew will reportedly go into effect during the midnight to 5 a.m. hours until further notice.

The Department of Justice will also now be expanding its investigation. It has put as many as over 40 FBI agents to a task of going around the community asking people who could potentially have any information involving the shooting.
