After a reporter was assaulted in Ferguson, ‘here we are again with a lot of uncertainty’

When St. Louis Post-Dispatch photojournalist David Carson ran into reporter Paul Hampel last night in Ferguson, Missouri, the two agreed that something felt off on West Florissant Avenue as the anniversary of Michael Brown’s death drew to a close.

“We both agreed that it was the best time to put on our vests at that point,” Carson said.
