As the night turned to morning, looters approached the market, and police reportedly were ordered to “stand down” and allowed looters to take over the liquor store, St. Louis County Police told Fox 2 in St. Louis. Looters set fire to a Domino’s Pizza, hit the liquor store, and broke through a beauty store. Much of the looting took place after 1 a.m. on Saturday morning, and storeowners told CNN they were frustrated that police did not intervene.

◼ MISSOURI GOV. DECLARES STATE OF EMERGENCY, ORDERS MIDNIGHT CURFEW IN FERGUSON - Tony Lee/Breitbart

On Saturday afternoon, Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon (D) declared a state of the emergency and implemented a curfew after Ferguson residents looted and rioted on Friday evening.
Captain Ron Johnson of the Missouri Highway Patrol said authorities would enforce a curfew from midnight to 5 AM for the safety of the "citizens of Ferguson."

...Nixon said the "ill will of the few" cannot "undermine the good will of the many people" and endanger Ferguson residents and businesses. He criticized the looters for drowning out the voices of the peaceful demonstrators and said he would "not allow a handful of looters to endanger the rest of this community."

Nixon said that in order get justice, "we must first have and maintain peace."

"This is a test. The eyes of the world are watching. This is a test of whether a community, this community, any community, can break the cycle of fear, distrust, and violence and replace them with peace, strength, and ultimately justice," Nixon said at a contentious press conference that was interrupted on multiple instances by Ferguson residents who were shouting questions and complaints. "It will not happen in one night."
