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.

I find this more disturbing than the story I just submitted.
Batman is a fictional hero I look up to primarily because he does not use firearms, and he insists on preserving life and justice. Fictional as the Dark Knight may be, it's disturbing to me that his symbol could be so misappropriated.
There is no honor in overwhelming force, and there is dishonor in taking the lives of those who have not been convicted according to due process.
Reading the tweets, “Absolutely disgusting,” is all I can say.
