chidikris : Outrage across US over Ferguson ruling

This is nothing but Lawful RACISM!!!!!! With the uprising incidents of cops in America and Europe shooting and killing unarmed black teenagers, recently is was Trevor Martin now Michael brown. Decision not to charge police officer over death of unarmed black teenager Michael Brown prompts protests across the US

Ferguson, Missouri, descended into anarchy, disorder and fire overnight as violent looters ran riot after a grand jury decided not to indict police Officer Darren Wilson over the fatal shooting of unarmed Michael Brown.

Wilson, the police officer shot Brown 12 times according to the court, with witness reports differing as to whether and when Brown had his hands raised.

Violence erupted after the decision was announced by St Louis County Prosecutor Robert McCulloch at around 8:25pm on Monday evening, and continued throughout the evening and into early Tuesday morning.

President Barack Obama and the family of Michael Brown asked for calm.

Here is Micheal Brown’s family statement “We are profoundly disappointed that the killer of our child will not face the consequence of his actions.

While we understand that many others share our pain, we ask that you channel your frustration in ways that will make a positive change. We need to work together to fix the system that allowed this to happen.

Join with us in our campaign to ensure that every police officer working the streets in this country wears a body camera.

We respectfully ask that you please keep your protests peaceful. Answering violence with violence is not the appropriate reaction.

Let's not just make noise, let's make a difference.”

Angry crowds took to the streets around the Ferguson Police headquarters after the grand jury determined there was no probable cause to charge Wilson with any crime for the shooting of 18-year-old Brown this past summer.

St Louis police reported heavy gunfire late on Monday in the area near where Brown was shot and killed on August 9 and more than a dozen local businesses were razed to the ground in flames by arsonists.
