Between 200 and 300 protesters gathered at the scene after the shooting, and conflicts broke out between officers and protesters, Belmar said.
Four people were arrested for assaulting officers, and at least one officer was injured when he tried to get away from some sort of firework device set off on the parking lot, Belmar said.
Protesters also threw some bricks at officers, Belmar said. Police used pepper spray on the crowd but did not use any tear gas, the chief said.
He also said several police cars were damaged, and some protesters brought bags of rocks to the scene.
As to suggestions that the officer should have used a Taser instead of his gun, Belmar said: "Frankly that's unreasonable." The officer also had a body camera issued to him at the start of his shift, but he was not wearing it. The car's dash-camera was not activated.
so there was a gun, it was loaded and the guy pointed it at the cop? Can we just build a high fricking wall around St Louis already and move out all the decent people of any race and let the rest have at it like Escape from NY?

I'd be all for that if you include all the a-hole and/or racist cops too. Arm them all to the tooth and let them kill each other off. And before I'm railed about cops, yes, I know a majority are good, just like a majority of the residents are good, but even the City cops recognize there are bad ones. LINK
