Report: Only 3 of 78 Arrested Protesters Were Ferguson Residents

Fox News correspondent Steve Harrigan reported that only three of the 78 protesters arrested last night during last night’s clash between the police and protesters in Ferguson were actually from the city on Tuesday’s “The O’Reilly Factor.” 

He stated that there were, “78 arrests, just three of them here from the town of Ferguson.” Harrigan added that there were “a lot from Missouri, but some came from as far away as California and New York.”  And that there are “some concerns from police that rioters are using the demonstrations as a cover, a cover to launch some attacks against police.”

Harrigan also said that “there are a lot of demonstrators who are trying to keep people on the sidewalk and the peace,” and that right before he went on, a 60-year-old woman was arrested for standing in the street.
