board up #3

ミズーリー州ファーガソンでは厳戒体制が敷かれています。以前も取り上げたboard upは台風関連でよく見かけるPVですが,どういう意味なのでしょうか。Kawadaくん,お願いします。(UG)

Missouri governor imposes curfew in Ferguson, declares emergency

Looting earlier in the day

The looting began at the Ferguson Market and Liquor store, which has become part of the case. Minutes before Brown was shot, police say, a man fitting his description allegedly stole cigars and roughed up a store clerk as surveillance cameras recorded.

Ferguson police released surveillance video of that robbery on Friday, but then emphasized that Wilson stopped Brown not because of the theft, but because Brown and a friend were "walking down the middle of the street blocking traffic."

Release of the video on Friday angered some, who say police were using it to distract from Brown's killing and make him look bad.

As protesters took to the streets early Saturday, more than two dozen people blocked off the convenience store with cars. Police with riot gear, tactical rifles and armored vehicles were nearby, commanding them through loudspeakers to free it up.

Instead, bottles flew, mayhem erupted, and looters ransacked the store, which the owner had boarded up. It was the first of at least three stores raided.
