Full title: Protesters set off explosives, throw bricks after police officer shoots, kills 18-year-old in Missouri
Hundreds of people gathered at a suburban St. Louis gas station early Wednesday morning after a police officer shot and killed an 18-year-old man who had been pointing a 9 mm handgun at the officer, authorities said.
Some protesters among the angry crowd of between 200 and 300 turned violent early Wednesday morning, setting off explosive devices and throwing bricks and rocks, St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar said at a press conference.
More than 50 police officers, some in riot gear, responded, and video showed officers wrestling with protesters.
Four suspects were arrested on charges of assaulting police officers at the Mobil gas station on Hanley Road in Berkeley, just miles from the site of 18-year-old Michael Brown’s death in Ferguson last August.
“To come there armed with explosive devices is certainly something that is not safe for our community, not safe for our businesses, certainly not safe for our police officers,” Belmar said.

Video and truth doesn’t matter. It’s the message that matters.
It’s kill whitey time. Helter skelter if you will.
Baraq Manson.
Obama sez...”There really IS a . Christmas!”
Explosive devices? Sounds like they were already prepared and just waiting for the chance to riot.
““To come there armed with explosive devices is .....
A freaking terrorist act and will be dealt with under laws enacted after 9/11 to deal with terrorists. That should be attempted murder, period.
Truth has been a casualty of this domestic battle for a long time.
Stop Black Violence
Ummm...were the ‘explosive devices’ used at this gas station?
Seems like these ‘peaceful protestors’ are looking to make a big bang.
This is why courtrooms are a controlled environment.
This mob assembled very quickly and they all had one thing in common.....
....they had no idea what had actually happened.
It’s time to very publicly authorize the use of live ammunition on these ferals.
Our government is stealing our money to raise hoardes of low IQ dipschits who are prone to violence, crime and gangster activity. They don’t have a conscience because they had no real moral values instilled in them....they were brought up by a valueless government nanny.
And our politicians just want their collective votes which is even worse.
The last 50 years... say, since Lyndon's war on blacks.
Firecrackers and bottle rockets, probably.
These weren’t “protesters”. No signs, no chants, no demands.
This was a terrorist mob with an average IQ of 60
Well, if they come storming my house, and the houses of many of my neighbors, live ammunition is most certainly what they will get.
I wonder how many of these incidents we will see in 2015 - black thugs who think that cops will be afraid to shoot them, and will act out. If they are right, they face down ‘The Man”, and if they are wrong, well, they don’t expect to live the average lifespan, so they will go out as a household name.
I don’t recall this much similar nonsense happening, prior to 2009.
Hope they made it back home in time to go to midnight mass.
