FULL TITLE: Furious protesters torch and hang the US flag upside down in second night of St Louis protests over cop killing of black teen

Protesters have clashed with cops for a second night in St Louis, Missouri following the fatal shooting of black 18-year-old Vonderrit Myers Jr., who was gunned down by an off-duty police officer on Wednesday.

Demonstrators burned American flags, blacked intersections, banged drums and taunted police as they gathered in Shaw to protest the teenager's death at the hands of the unidentified cop - just moments after they had met for a quiet candle-lit vigil for Myers.

Police in riot gear lined up on a high street as protesters yelled abuse and profanities at the officers, who silently stood their ground - although some used pepper spray to force the crowd back. Police helicopters buzzed above the neighborhood.

Some protesters burned the American flag, while others banged on drums and shouted: 'This is what democracy looks like!' Others slammed the sides of police vans. Shop windows were shattered and broken glass littered the street.

It’s racism to shoot at cops and get shot back.

I hear Liberia is getting short on citizens. Maybe offer some one way tickets?

Democrats today seem to think the Chicago riot led to some kind of great democrat win. I keep my mouth shut and let them continue to believe that.

Much bigger crowd tonight, organized and loud. The radicals have arrived. This one is going to get bad.

This is being directly orchestrated by the homosexual Musloid community-agitator in the White Hut.

“Hands up, Don’t Shoot”

should be countered with

“Pants up, don’t loot”

This is not a riot, this is an Occupy Movement.

It sounds to me as though the St. Louie natives got jealous that the Fergies were getting all of the attention. If these freeloaders had to work for a living, they wouldn’t have time for this kind of BS. I dare them to burn their food stamp cards and their Obama “foams”.

I think the answer to the question everyone is asking themselves is “no, they don’t realize how stupid they look”.

Thinking the same thing as I read this. I doubt this will play well with indie voters.

I heard them today in Clayton as I was going into the courthouse. I could tell by the sound that they are not from around here. They are experienced and paid agitators.

Combined with claims that ebola deaths are racism and threats of “rebellion” coming from the black pampers. I think a lot of people are getting sick of them.

Democrats are mindlessly lashing out all over and it ain’t pretty.
