Violent protests broke out early Wednesday between police officers and a vocal crowd of several hundred people who taunted the officers at the scene of the shooting. Two officers were injured, police cars were damaged and fire was set at a QuikTrip store. Four people were arrested.
After the police officer arrived at the store, one of the men pulled a handgun and pointed it at the officer, St. Louis County police spokesman Sgt. Brian Schellman said. The officer fired several shots, fatally wounding the man. The second man fled, and the dead man's handgun has been recovered, according to Schellman.

He was just gettin' his life turned around... how cliche.
So robbing people with an illegal firearm is how you turn your life around...
Just keep pushing us towards a civil war, that's where they're heading with this.
Geeze, this excuse is starting to sound a little rote,isn’t it? To understate the matter. It’s sounding utterly ridiculous, word for word.
If they only understood, that’s actually their problem, that they live for “free” at taxpayer expense. Idle hands and all.
I wonder if the officer was called to the scene and the thugs were planning to shoot him?
Yes and the 1st paragraph continues with the BS rhtoric..
Violent protests broke out in suburban St. Louis after another black 18-year-old was fatally shot by a white police officer.
I’m all busted up inside.
i think I’ll go bake a cake.
Yahoo appears to have changed the text of its news story linked at the top.
Clinton was put into the office of president largely by donations from China.
In return he gave them military secret information involving computer programs to direct nuclear missiles.
Soon after he got into office, China used that technology to train (aim) nuclear weapons at the USA.
That, in fact, was supposed to be the main reason for his impeachment, but the compliance (and fear of China) of congress to his actions changed the reason to using an underling for sexual favors.
As an aside, I have always mentioned that Clinton should have been prosecuted for using his position to "coerce" Monica to do his bidding (OK, didn't take much "coercing" as that was the reason Lewinski went to DC...) as that is a workplace violation.
What if the head of Stanford (about Clinton's age) would have had a similar "relationship" with Chelsea (about Monica's age) while she was attending Stanford?
He (Stanford provost) would still be in jail or dead.
Interestingly enough, the "pointed but didnt fire" policy is what Obama has declared (re nuclear attack on the USA) is now the policy of the USA.
Don't fire first, wait until we are nuked before defending our country. Yeah right, after it is laid waste!
Oops, I rambled sorry...
bg.. After they messed their underwear. :-)
So a black guy points a gun at a white officer and gets shot. The black community blames the white officer.
So now I guess the new rules of engagement are that white officers have to be wounded before they can fire on a suspect?
I did not hear the MSM refer to the color of the a-hole who shot those two Brooklyn cops, not once.
BTW this is more proof the MSM is consciously fomenting violence. They WANT people to die.
...the 18-year-old had a considerable criminal record in the less than two years since he turned 17, with three assault charges, armed robbery, armed criminal action and unlawful use of a weapon.
Pulled and Pointed a gun at the officer!
A good night for this officer, as he got to go home to his wife & family.
BTW this is more proof the MSM is consciously fomenting violence. They WANT people to die.
I consider the media an enemy to a peaceful America. They are fomenting violence against innocent Americans.
another gentle giant
Another piece of trash taken out.
He obviously missed school the day they said to not point guns at cops. The system’s fault!
