Shooting Death of Black Man by White Officer Spurs Protests in St. Louis Suburb
Via Joe
A white police officer killed a black teenager who was allegedly armed in a St. Louis suburb late Tuesday, leading to a small protest and four arrests at the scene of the shooting, according to police.
The death of Antonio Martin, 18 years old, comes as tensions run high in U.S. cities over the use of deadly force by police. The shooting happened in Berkeley, Mo., just miles from the town of Ferguson, where the death of an unarmed black teenager by a white police officer in August sparked months of demonstrations that turned violent at times.
In Berkeley on Wednesday night, up to 100 protesters had been marching in the streets, even shutting down parts of Interstate 170 multiple times, according to Michael Neal with the Berkeley Police Department. Berkeley police declined to say if any arrests had been made as of late Wednesday evening, as numbers of protesters dwindled to around 50.
