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.

What else could it be?
Right, whatever you say. Fly the flag any way you choose; it’s free speech just as is burning the flag. However, I find this form of free speech contemptible, along with a lot of other constitutionally-protected speech, and I’ll say so.
And if you can refrain from calling me “kid”, I’ll avoid references to senile dementia.
whatever kid...
OK. This has been fun, but I have things to do today. Don’t forget to turn the flag upside-down when you need your Depends changed, now.
I did not read the article, but according to the headline a lawyer needs to be disbarred
Yep with gay marriage an abortion it looks pretty sad, not to mention turning her back on God/Christ
Surely She is in distress, am also sure that many veterans that gave their lives years ago, might now say...I didn`t die for people to have the right to kill their Child, or to become a anti Christian country etc....
They have them, but others are paying the bills. I want to see them be completely responsible for themselves. Yeah, I know, not happening.
