The family of an unarmed black teenager who was shot dead by a police officer has hired the same civil rights lawyer who represents the family of Trayvon Martin.
Michael Brown died after being shot multiple times by a police officer in Ferguson, a suburb of St Louis after an altercation involving the officer, Mr Brown and another man on Saturday.
The killing has drawn criticism from some civil rights leaders, who have referred to the 2012 racially charged shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin by a Florida neighborhood watch organizer who was acquitted of murder charges.
Now it has emerged that Benjamin Crump, the attorney who represents the family of Trayvon Martin is now to represent Mr Brown's family.
According to 10 News, Mr Crump, from Tallahasse, Florida, will join Mr Brown's family at a press conference later today, which will be held at a church in Jennings, Missouri....
Michael Brown's death has drawn parallels to that of Martin's and how his family also hired Mr Crump after the 17-year-old was shot dead as he walked from a convenience store to his father's condo in Sanford, Florida....
Meanwhile, a vigil which was held for 18-year-old Brown in Ferguson on Sunday descended into chaos, with shop windows being smashed and goods being looted....

Licensed in Florida but not in Missouri, ah the wonders of the Internet. Course if he is going to steal from his “own”, who am I to care?
Cue the FaceAcheBook pics...
There was a struggle for the gun in the car but what they are not saying is whether there was a struggle for the gun from the car to the point 35 feet away when the rest of the shots were fired.
Forensics will lend light on that.
The race baiters are calling the presence of police dogs insensitive in light of their use during the civil rights demonstrations.
Ordinary resident customers of the tire shop helped protect the business and took keys from vehicles in the shop to keep from being stolen, and returned them this morning.

Not sure what's going on in the photo, but your "uncivilized idiot" sure does apply, along with "criminal".
The officer was in a fight for his life.
But Hey!! ...let's go trash & rob the Quickie-Mart and Lik'a Store.
Is Jesse Jackson on site yet?
Not sure but Rev Al is expected —
But he may drive in discretely and avoid St Louis City because they may still have a warrant there for his arrest.

Seems any descent human being wouldn’t want another man showing their ass or underwear in front of women. Would they be okay with me showing my ass and underwear to their mother, grandmother, wife, or child?
They’re not descent human being. They’re uncivilized and I don’t want to live around them or be anywhere around them. And this applies to white trash that do it too.
Crump is building a career here.
It's standard operating procedure for them.
Look at the two pictures in the article —
What do you think the age difference is between those two pictures???
Sarcastic comment: Why is it that they never rob and loot when it's a black on black shooting.
Note they never loot a library or book store.
I’d say 4-5 years difference between the pics. He sure looks like an angry dude in the second pic. Kind of has the same frown as Moochelle.
Most of them can't read or write.
Why doesn't the press ask - or look up the answer... can't be that hard to work a few facts into a story.?
This rioting looks more like an excuse to loot than anything even close to grief. Reminds me of the drama involved with Palestinians running through streets showing off dead children. Children used as shields for Hamas weapons caches. It doesn't feel like sadness... it feels like evil taking advantage of a loss...
Eric Cartman once said, if your going to kill someone, you better make sure that person is the same race as you..Black on black crime is OK since the shooter and the victim are both black, thus making the crime A OK
