Ferguson latest news: 82 arrests after no indictment is announced for Officer Darren Wilson (video)

FERGUSON, Mo. — Ferguson was set ablaze Monday night by rioters after prosecutor Robert McCulloch announced that there would be no indictment in the Aug. 9 shooting death of 18-year-old Michael Brown by police officer Darren Wilson. Peaceful protests began shortly after the news conference, but it wasn't long before rioters began throwing bottles, destroying several police cars, breaking into businesses and setting fires.

The large number of police in riot gear, the National Guard and even FBI agents didn't deter looters from carrying off everything from sneakers to food and appliances. While Brown's mother made a tearful statement to protestors saying she "never did nothing to nobody," the slain teen's stepfather lashed out, yelling to "burn this b---- down!"

Police said that over 150 shots were fired during the night. 82 people were arrested, 61 of them in Ferguson, mostly for burglary, unlawful assembly and trespassing, NBC news reported. 25 buildings and vehicles in total were vandalized or burned.

Though police did not shoot and kill any of the rioters causing destruction, they did fire canisters of tear gas indiscriminately at peaceful protestors, rioters and reporters alike to make them disperse.

"We have no loss of life, but I am disappointed the night turned out this way," St. Louis Police Chief Jon Belmar told Fox News. "What I've seen tonight is probably worse than the worst night we had in August."

Protestors were upset that the grand jury, which was composed of nine whites and three blacks, did not find probable that Wilson committed a crime when he shot Brown. There had also been calls previously to appoint a special prosecutor to case because of worries of bias from local attorney Robert McCullouch, but they were ignored. In the wake of the release of evidence presented to the grand jury, some were unsatisfied that Wilson was not more heavily cross-examined. Potential charges for Wilson ranged from involuntary manslaughter to first degree murder.

Brown's birth parents have called for peace in the wake of the announcement of no indictment.

"I join Michael's parents to ask anyone who protests this decision to do so peacefully," Obama said Monday night. "Let me repeat Michael's father's words: 'Hurting others and destroying property is not the answer. I do not want my son's death to be in vain.'"

Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon has requested more National Guard troops to keep the peace Tuesday night.

"Violence like we saw last night cannot be repeated," he said.
