English term or phrase: ..started taking rocks and batteries..
Just after 1 a.m., Gov. Jay Nixon called up additional members of
the National Guard to Ferguson, where they will provide security for the
police headquarters.
At a news conference around 1:30 a.m., Jon Belmar, the St. Louis
County police chief, said at least a dozen buildings had been set on fire.
“As soon as Mr. McCulloch announced the verdict, the officers
started taking rocks and batteries,” said Chief Belmar, who said he
personally heard about 150 shots fired. He said the police did not fire a
shot.
