FERGUSON: Police arrested scores of people in cities around the United States who were protesting a Missouri grand jury’s decision not to indict a white police officer for killing an unarmed black teenager, authorities said yesterday, but the town where the shooting took place was a little calmer.
Protests in Boston, New York, Los Angeles, Atlanta and elsewhere came on a second night of street violence in the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson, Missouri, where policeman Darren Wilson shot to death 18-year-old Michael Brown on August 9. The shooting has highlighted the often-tense nature of US race relations and the strains between black communities and police.
