Angry protesters have taken to the streets in Ferguson, Missouri, to destroy cars, buildings after the white policeman who shot and killed an unarmed black teenager Michael Brown,in August was allowed to walk free in court yesterday. Demonstrators taunted police, shattered windows and set fire to two police cars while chanting "No justice, No Peace."
According to the Prosecuting Attorney McCulloch report, the case was decided to be dropped after many early reports in the incident were found not to be true by the official investigation, such as the report that officer Wilson stood over Brown's body and fired the fatal shots into his back.
The autopsy revealed that Wilson shot Brown to death as the young man walked towards him. He said many witnesses presented conflicting statements that were inconsistent with the physical evidence.

According to Officer Wilson's side of story:
'I was yelling at him to stop and get on the ground. 'He kept running and then he stopped in this area somewhere. When he stopped he turned, looked at me, made a grunting noise and had the most intense aggressive face I've ever seen on a person.Photos of Protesters carting away food from shops....
'When he looked at me he then did like the hop...you know when people do to start running. And he started running at me. During his first stride he took his right hand and put it under his shirt and into his waistband. 'And I ordered him to stop and get on the ground again. He didn't. I fired a multiple shots.
'After I fired the multiple shots I paused for a second, yelled at him to get on the ground again, he was still in the same state.

If it was a black man that did this to a white boy he will be jailed this is injustice
I wish it was an Arab, the case will be threated differently. Why shot to kill?
Racisim everywhere, why do only black people fall victims to all these killings?
