Cops arrested several people during another night of protests outside a police station in suburban Saint Louis, an official said Friday morning.
Demonstrations have taken place nearly every night in Ferguson since Officer Darren Wilson fatally shot Michael Brown, an unarmed African American teenager, on Aug. 9.
The official for the Ferguson Police Department declined to give an exact number but the Washington Post reported that at least six people were taken into custody after breaking a late-night noise ordinance.
They chanted outside the station while holding their hands in the air just as Brown, according to several witnesses, had his hands in the air when he was shot. When police told them to pipe down, the group only got louder.
Some of the protesters are affiliated with a group called the Millennials, according to the Washington broadsheet.

Meanwhile, a grand jury is considering whether to press charges against Wilson. A Missouri woman, Susan Nicholas, landed in hot water earlier this week when it looked as if someone on the jury told her confidential information about the proceedings.
Someone tweeted this supposed information from her Twitter account Wednesday.
'I know someone sitting on the grand jury of this case,' the tweet reads. 'There isn't enough at this point to warrant an arrest. #Ferguson.'
This tweet led to misconduct investigation.

Nicholas told CNN that she was 'probably hacked,' has not used Twitter in months and thought she had deleted her account.
'I didn't care for it because I just don't get the whole Twitter thing,' she said.
In the past, Nicholas said, someone had hacked into her account and posted spam.
