ST. LOUIS (AP) -- Officers arrested at least nine people and deployed tear gas amid protests in St. Louis over the death of a black 18-year-old who was fatally shot by police after he pointed a gun at them, the city's police chief said.
Chief Sam Dotson said at a press conference late Wednesday night that a group of protesters who had blocked an intersection threw glass bottles and bricks at officers and refused orders to clear the roadway. Inert gas was used and when that had no effect on the crowd, police turned to tear gas to clear the intersection, Dotson said. Those arrested face charges of impeding the flow of traffic and resisting arrest, he said. A vacant building and at least one car were burned.

Point a gun at a cop. They should change their name to #dumbass lives matter.
#BlackThugsMatter
They are supposed to order him to put his weapon down. Then they recoil in disbelief when he does not comply. Like in Demolition Man.
Shoot those who loot in these bogus riots. You shoot looters
Dindonuffin!
Oh, the good “Rev” will be there in no time.
18?? Did the media use the obligatory photo of the Thug when he was 8-9 years old in their stories??
The BLACK LIES MATTER “movement” wouldn’t be what it is ...without Revrunt Sharpton!!
