Hundreds Protest after cops kill black teen in St. Louis surburb
The fatal shooting of a black teenager by police sent hundreds of angry residents out of their apartments Saturday in a St. Louis suburb, igniting protests during a confrontation that lasted several hours.Meanwhile.... The man who touted the phrase ‘War on Whites’ went on to say, “We don’t categorize people by race.”
A St. Louis County chapter of the NAACP called for the FBI to look into the killing of 18-year-old Michael Brown in Ferguson, a predominantly black suburb a few miles north of downtown St. Louis. A police spokesman acknowledged that a Ferguson police officer shot Brown but declined to give a reason for the shooting.
By early Saturday night, dozens of police cars remained parked near the shooting scene as mourners left votive candles, rose petals, a large stuffed animal and other remembrances at a makeshift memorial in the middle of the street.
At the height of the post-shooting tensions, police at the scene called for about 60 other police units to respond to the area in Ferguson, a city of about 21,000 residents, about two-thirds of whom are black.

We have to wait for all the facts to come out to pass judgement. We also need to point out that there are others ways to express anger and shooting at random police officers or inciting violence against police for what happened is NOT the thing to do!!! we also need to come together and protest when our kind kills someone! We only march protest and have parades when a non black kills a black!

I replied to the article and gave more info!!All I did was say that stealing and looting does nothing but make them look bad. They "SAY' they came to protest a shooting even though all the facts are not in but instead they stole looted and damaged property!!
All the facts are in, #MikeBrown is dead. He was not armed. Witnesses say he was shot multiple times and he had his hands up in the air. The shooting of an unarmed teen by those paid and trained to protect and serve looks worse, than some random looters taking advantage of the situation.
It does look worse now! All the facts are still not in! Even if he had the right to use his weapon many will still say murder!There is still NO reason and there never will be a reason to steal, loot and commit crime just like in New Orleans after Katrina. Many of our kind made us all look bad and yet we try to stand up for causes. That is HARD to do when many continue to be out of control!
Why am I not surprised you think that looting is worse than shooting and killing an unarmed black teen? Even if he (the police officer) had the "right to use his weapon" there is no excuse for shooting an innocent child or anyone else for that matter.
The FACTS are in. Mike Brown was shot and killed AFTER an alleged altercation with police.
People weren't looting and stealing because they were criminals in the aftermath of Katrina, they were trying to survive after Bush flew over the city and looked down on them suffering and didn't send help for 5 days.
Don't get it twisted.
