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.

That part is something I'm going to dispute. Racism in the US has been since its inception first and foremost a means of rich white people convincing poor white people that the poor white people have more in common with the rich white people than they do with the poor (or enslaved) black people. So if you're white, it's really unlikely to be you next, because that would screw up the deal that is basically 400 years old: "You may be downtrodden, dirt poor, abused by your boss, beaten by your husband, cheated by your bank, but you're still better than a n*****!" And the corollary to that: "Watch out for those who want to make the lives of black people better - they're just trying to put you on the same level as n*****s! And look at how bad their lives are, would you want that for your kids?"
This was all started in response to an armed rebellion by black slaves and white indentured servants revolted against their masters in the Virginia colony.
