CNN chyron blames protesters for violence in Ferguson

I caught this chyron from CNN this morning at my local gym. Following reporters on the ground and local accounts of last night's events, that's certainly not what I saw. We had cops pointing guns at unarmed civilians, reporters arrested without charges, tear gas, and clueless leadership in a community suffering from longstanding tensions between police and African-American residents.
