• Usa. Ferguson, spari a manifestazione Brown

    epa04878921 Officers from the Missouri State Highway Patrol and St. Louis County Police, wearing riot gear, guard the perimeter of the scene of an officer-involved shooting on West Florissant Avenue in Ferguson, Missouri, USA, 10 August 2015. A march in Ferguson was disrupted by gunfire on the anniversary of the shooting death of unarmed African-American teenager Michael Brown by white police officer Darren Wilson. Half a dozen shots were heard on footage broadcast by the BBC, prompting hundreds of people to flee the previously peaceful protests. One person was injured, the report said. The memorial event began earlier with four-and-half-minutes of silence, to mark the four-and-a-half hours that his body was left in the street while police gathered crime scene evidence. The death of Brown on 09 August 2014 sparked a series of protests that helped create a renewed interest in civil rights in the United States. EPA/SID HASTINGS
