From Yahoo News:

A man was gravely wounded in a gun battle with police in Ferguson, Missouri on Sunday night after a day of peaceful rallies to mark the fatal shooting of an unarmed black teenager by a white officer one year ago. Several volleys of gunshots rang out as police in riot gear tried to disperse demonstrators blocking traffic and smashing storefront windows along a street that was a flashpoint of last year's unrest in the St. Louis suburb after Michael Brown, 18, was slain. Police later said the gunfire began with two groups of agitators apparently shooting at each other.

Anniversary commemorations had begun hours earlier with a peaceful march through the St. Louis suburb. The scene changed dramatically after dark. Dozens of protesters converged on West Florissant Avenue, which bore the brunt of last summer's rioting, and chanted: "Shut it down" in the midst of a severe thunderstorm.

    Here ya go friend, do the math [bjs.gov]. The last year we have reliable statistics as after 2005 Hispanics became white we have 8000 black homicides of which 93% were black on black, or 7440. Divide that by 12 and what do ya get? 620 per month. Now you could try to argue that there is less black on black crime, please show your figures AND remove the "Hispanics equal white" to get an accurate number please, but even if crime went down by HALF we are still looking at 320 per month which is more than 264, HAND.
