(AP and WSJ) FERGUSON, Missouri—Protests in the St. Louis suburb rocked by unrest since a white police officer shot an unarmed black teenager to death again turned violent Wednesday night, with people lobbing Molotov cocktails and other objects at police who responded with smoke bombs and tear gas to disperse the crowd.

Ferguson Police Chief Thomas Jackson, who has been the public face of the city torn by Saturday’s death of 18-year-old Michael Brown, told reporters earlier in the day that the St. Louis County investigation of the shooting could take weeks to complete. Meanwhile, he said, his department welcomes Justice Department training on racial relations in the suburb, where two-thirds of the 21,000 residents are black while all but three of the police force’s 53 officers are white.

“Unfortunately, an undertow [of racial unrest] has bubbled to the surface,” said Mr. Jackson. “Race relations is the top priority right now.”

While Mr. Jackson said he wanted to mend fences with the community, protesters were on the streets of Ferguson again Wednesday, facing heavily armed police who at time trained weapons on them from an armored truck. The situation became more tense after nightfall, with police ordering people to go home and then using smoke bombs and, later, tear gas after they said some people threw Molotov cocktails at them.

County Police Chief Jon Belmar though said his officers have responded with “an incredible amount of restraint,” as they’ve been the targets of rocks, bottles and gunshots, with two dozen patrol vehicles being destroyed.
