Saturday Night Live almost addressed the situation in Ferguson this weekend, but, like the cheerful morning news anchors in this "cut for time" sketch, they decided they'd rather talk about literally anything else.

In the wake of the announcement that Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson would not be indicted for shooting and killing Mike Brown, protestors across the country took to the streets in mass acts of civil disobedience, and in some cases, property damage.

According to an extended whinge from the New York Post's police sources, New York City protesters gained the upper hand over NYPD during demonstrations following the Darren Wilson announcement using the cutting edge of 2006 technology: Twitter and disposable cell phones.

Deroy Murdock of National Review Online would like everyone to stop protesting the lack of an indictment in the killing of Michael Brown, so that Americans can focus instead on the problem of black-on-black crime. He asks:

In a revealing interview with New York's Frank Rich, Chris Rock talks Bill Cosby, the president, and what "racial progress" really means in America today. When asked how he'd cover the ongoing crisis in Ferguson as a journalist, Rock suggests, "I'd do a special on race, but I'd have no black people."

City leaders say Darren Wilson, who finally resigned from the Ferguson police force Saturday, will not be receiving severance pay, pension checks, or any other benefits.

Darren Wilson has reportedly announced his resignation from the Ferguson, Missouri, police department, issuing a letter in which he writes that "my continued employment may put the residents and police officers of the City of Ferguson at risk, which is a circumstance that I cannot allow."

On the third night of protests following a Ferguson grand jury's decision not to indict Darren Wilson for the killing of Michael Brown, Los Angeles police arrested 130 "unruly" demonstrators Wednesday for unlawful assembly and failure to disperse, KTLA reports.

At a September townhall meeting in Harlem, Carl Dix, a longtime Uptown fixture and mouthpiece, stood before the microphone in the auditorium of the Schomburg Center and called for mass rebellion. "It's going to take a revolution," he said, "nothing less, to end this and the horrors of the system once and for all."

The Ferguson church where Michael Brown Sr. was baptized this past weekend was set on fire during protests in the city Monday night. Rev. Carlton Lee told NBC News he suspects his church was targeted because of his vocal support of the Brown family and his repeated calling for Darren Wilson's arrest.

Darren Wilson, who two days ago escaped punishment for killing Michael Brown, is going to be a father. Wilson confirmed the news during his hour-long interview with ABC News' George Stephanopoulos on Tuesday.

Michael Brown's parents—Lesley McSpadden and Michael Brown, Sr.—were on the Today show this morning, where they responded to Ferguson, Mo. police officer Darren Wilson's public comments following a grand jury's decision not to indict him for the killing of their son.

For the second night in a row, demonstrators across the U.S. blocked traffic and squared off with police officers in protest of the Ferguson grand jury's decision not to indict a white police officer who fired six shots into an unarmed black teenager.

ABC News aired a segment from Darren Wilson's interview with George Stephanopoulos on Tuesday night, which marked the first time the Ferguson police officer has spoken publicly since he shot Michael Brown to death in August.

Seems Ferguson residents weren't the only viewers disappointed by CNN's recent reporting efforts, as the beleaguered network broadcast footage of protestors yelling "Fuck CNN" for the second night in a row Tuesday.

New Yorkers protesting the Darren Wilson grand jury decision shut down large swathes of the city Tuesday evening, blocking off an entrance to the Lincoln Tunnel and both sides of the FDR Drive as thousands of people joined the march.

A Minneapolis woman was hurt today during a Ferguson rally when a driver apparently accelerated through an intersection full of protestors.

On Tuesday, Darren Wilson spoke with ABC News's George Stephanopoulos for over an hour. In the interview, a promo for which was released Tuesday afternoon, Wilson repeatedly defended killing Michael Brown in August, saying he did what he was trained to do that day and that wouldn't do anything differently. Later in the interview, Wilson told Stephanopoulos he had a clean conscience, though he said he regretted the loss of life.

In explaining why a grand jury decided not to press charges against Darren Wilson, St. Louis County prosecuting attorney Bob McCulloch presented what sounded like the defense's version of the incident. This morning, he was one-upped by the Washington Post in a package matter-of-factly titled "What happened in Ferguson," which only suspiciously leaves off the addendum "according to Darren Wilson."

Last night, CNN attempted to cover the contentious events in Ferguson, Mo., including the announcement that police officer Darren Wilson would not be indicted for killing a black teenager named Michael Brown and the heated protests which followed. What the most trusted brand in American journalism ended up covering, however, was itself.
