Today is a sad day for the American people. Our black youth can no longer be safe going to gas stations pointing fire arms, can no longer be safe slamming car doors on police officers whilst they march down the street. Never mind selling "loosies" (individually unwrapped cigarettes) that is practically an automatic execution order.
Late last night, an unidentified black teen was mercilessly gunned down by police after him and a friend saw a police cruiser sitting in a gas station. So what's the logical thing to do? Well they decided to walk over to it pointing a handgun, and the officer took it upon himself to brutally gun him down.
Here's the nbc article for you:
A cop fatally shot a teenager at a gas station late Tuesday just miles from Ferguson, Missouri, police said, setting off angry clashes between demonstrators and officers.
St. Louis County Police confirmed in a statement that an officer from the city of Berkeley had "fired several shots," saying the cop was "fearing for his life" after a male allegedly pulled out a handgun and pointed it at him. A handgun was recovered at the scene, police added, saying that the officer has been placed on administrative leave while an investigation is being carried out.
Police did not confirm the victim's identity, but released surveillance video showing what they said shows the teen pointing a gun at the officer. The timestamp on the video suggests the incident lasted almost a whole minute and shows someone raising an arm — but is not clear enough to show a gun being used.
Berkeley is just two miles from Ferguson, Missouri, where the fatal police shooting of unarmed black teen Michael Brown set off violent protests that spread nationwide. Early Wednesday, an angry crowd of about 200 gathered at near the scene of the shooting and there were angry clashes with police.
"I can see about 50 cop cars, they're fighting and scuffling, the highway is blocked with cars, people are being arrested," said photographer Bradley Rayford. "Trash cans are on fire." A small fire began at a QuikTrip across the street from the Mobil but quickly went out, said John Henry, reporter with NBC affiliate KDSK.
The protest thinned away by daybreak, and St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar told an early morning news conference that four people were arrested. He said that bricks and what were believed to be fireworks were thrown at officers, but cops did not use tear gas. One officer was being treated in a hospital emergency room for injuries to his lower leg sustained while running away, he said, and another was treated at the hospital after sustaining injuries to his face from a brick.
Belmar said it was "pretty disturbing" that what appeared to be a firework had exploded next to a gas pump.
"To come there carrying explosive devices is not safe for our city," he said.
