Why shouldn't we expect anything less than a lying mayor... when their whole case was built around lies in the first place.
The National Guard was in the more affluent areas of St. Louis, and Ferguson was forgotten until well past midnight when it was on the verge of a real firestorm around 2-3 AM. That's when Gov. Nixon at last ordered that they go there too. Until then, the folks in the hood reacted accordingly and predictably. And they knew that under the "rules of engagement" -- that the so-called "Combined Command" had announced in advance -- meant than they could do looting and vandalism with no risk of being shot and little risk of being apprehended. Some snipers were used to scare off the police and firemen. And the presence of lots of "peaceful protesters" further hampered any response to the situation.
In short, from the standpoint of law enforcement it was a cluster fuc__ in Ferguson while St. Louis was well protected with little harm.
