Violence in Missouri – white police shoot dead an unarmed black teenager

This is a report from America, the land of plenty where everyone enjoys equal rights but where racist deaths happen. America is the greatest world power and a land of plenty and, very few countries have the guts to defy Americans. Their NASA sends astronauts to space and Americans also dictate terms to others and are involved in hate crimes. In this highly civilized world, a white policeman had shot to death a black teenager in the city of Ferguson where majority population is black and the police are whites. That death of 18-year-old Michael Brown had set off an unrest, police had to fire tear gas shells and the Governor had to clamp curfew. The death of the teenager enraged the locals and scores of them descended on the scene, about four miles south east of Canfield Drive – the teenager had been shot at least six times by a police officer of Ferguson on August 9. The police had to deploy tear gas and stun grenades in recent nights as peaceful protests turned violent after nightfall. As per the authorities, protesters had hurled bottles and Molotov cocktails at lines of police who had arrived to quell looting and violence in the neighborhood. As a result, Missouri Governor Jay Nixon had to summon the National Guard to try to restore order to Ferguson which is a town of about 21,000 people that is overwhelmingly African-American.
