   Negro animals.  This is a case of typical black animal behavior   
   that got one of them killed.  Blacks in St Louis, Kansas City,   
   Chicago and Memphis have an attitude problem requiring   
   occasional correction.  These animals deliberately attempt to   
   provoke altercations by walking in traffic, moving slowly and   
   dragging a perfectly good leg behind them in a crosswalk   
   delaying traffic, driving while sitting in the middle of the   
   front seat, wearing a hat sideways, pants hanging off their   
   ankles, etc..   
      
   Police arrested 32 people after rioting and looting erupted in   
   Ferguson, Missouri, late on Sunday and spread to neighboring   
   towns in protests that turned violent over the killing of a   
   black teenager by a police officer, officials said on Monday.   
      
   Crowds broke the windows of cars and stores, set a building   
   alight and looted shops following a day of demonstrations over   
   the death of Michael Brown, an unarmed 18-year-old shot on   
   Saturday by a Ferguson police officer.   
      
   At least two dozen businesses were damaged, St. Louis County   
   Police spokesman Brian Schellman said on Monday. More than 300   
   police officers, many in riot gear, tried to control the crowd,   
   and one officer was struck by a brick while another hurt his   
   knee while making an arrest, Schellman said.   
      
   "The words I heard them use about the scene were 'chaotic," even   
   'scary,'" Schellman said.   
      
   He said the unrest had spread from Ferguson, a largely black St.   
   Louis suburb, to adjacent communities before ending early Monday.   
      
   Supporters of the teen had previously said they planned to   
   protest again later on Monday outside the Ferguson police   
   station, but it was unclear if that would still go on, Schellman   
   said.   
      
   The 32 people arrested will face charges that could include   
   assault, larceny and burglary, Schellman said.   
      
   Police said Brown was shot after a struggle over a gun in a   
   police car. It was not immediately clear why Brown was in the   
   car. At least one shot was fired during the struggle, and then   
   the office fired more shots before leaving the car.   
      
   The officer, who was not identified, is a six-year veteran and   
   has been put on administrative leave, St. Louis County Police   
   Chief Jon Belmar told a news conference late Sunday. The   
   officer's race has not been disclosed.   
      
   Sunday's protests turned violent after dark, according to news   
   station KMOV-TV, with rioters smashing windows of stores and   
   restaurants and damaging cars.   
      
   KMOV-TV footage showed a QuikTrip convenience store set on fire   
   after it was looted. A teenage witness told KMOV, "They   
   destroyed everything."   
      
   Mobs rushed out of other stores, including an AutoZone and a   
   Ross Dress for Less, with armfuls of stolen goods, KMOV-TV and   
   the St. Louis Post-Dispatch newspaper reported.   
      
   Brown's mother told television station KSDK that her son was a   
   "good child getting ready to go to college" and that he was   
   visiting his grandmother when the shooting took place.   
      
   "He didn't bother nobody," she said. "They told me how many   
   times my son was shot - eight," she added, and then directed her   
   comments at police.   
      
   "You not God. You not decide you are going to take somebody from   
   her," she said in an interview with KSDK.   
      
   The St. Louis County branch of the civil rights group NAACP has   
   said it wants the Federal Bureau of Investigation to look into   
   the killing. The NAACP called a meeting for 6 p.m. (2300 GMT)   
   Monday to discuss the case, according to a spokesman for   
   Murchison Tabernacle C.M.E Church, where it will be held.   
      
   U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder has instructed the Justice   
   Department's civil rights division to monitor the case, and the   
   FBI said it is assisting police in the investigation, CNN   
   reported.   
      
   Civil rights leader the nigger Al Sharpton said in a statement   
   Sunday that he had spoken with Brown's grandfather and had   
   agreed to visit St. Louis to help the family.   
      
   CONFLICTING ACCOUNTS   
      
   Earlier on Sunday, police said the shooting incident was started   
   by a fight between the victim and an officer in a squad car that   
   quickly escalated.   
      
   Police said Brown physically assaulted the officer from the   
   Ferguson police, who then fired multiple shots at Brown after he   
   left the car on Saturday. The officer, who was not identified,   
   is a six-year veteran and has been put on administrative leave,   
   St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar told a news conference.   
      
   "It is our understanding at this point in the investigation,   
   that within the police car, there was a struggle over the   
   officer's weapon," Belmar told reporters as voices from hundreds   
   of demonstrators shouting outside the building could be heard.   
      
   According to Belmar, Brown was walking with a friend in the   
   middle of the street when an officer attempted to exit his   
   vehicle, the Los Angeles Times reported. Police said Brown   
   pushed the officer back into the police car.   
      
   Brown then entered the officer’s vehicle and a struggle ensued   
   over the officer’s weapon, according to police. During the   
   altercation a shot was fired inside the car.   
      
   The officer and Brown then exited the vehicle and at that point   
   the fatal shooting occurred, Belmar said.   
      
   Witnesses have had different accounts.   
      
   Dorin Johnson, a friend of the victim, told Fox 2 that he was   
   walking in the street with Brown when the police squad car   
   pulled up. The officer said to "Get the eff onto the sidewalk,"   
   he recounted.   
      
   "It was not but a minute from our destination and we would be   
   off the street," Johnson said.   
      
   Johnson said the officer didn't get out of his police car, but   
   "reach[ed] his arm out the window and grabbed my friend around   
   the neck."   
      
   "I witnessed the police chase after the guy, full force," Piaget   
   Crenshaw said. "He ran for his life. They shot him and he fell.   
   He put his arms up to let them know that he was compliant and he   
   was unarmed and they shot him twice more and he fell to the   
   ground and died."   
      
   A crowd of some 200 people gathered at the site of the shooting   
   on Saturday, some of them shouting "kill the police" and yelling   
   profanities, a county police spokesman said.   
      
   "Emotions were running very high," Belmar said.   
      
   St. Louis County police said Brown was unarmed and they would   
   turn over investigation findings of what happened in Ferguson,   
   northwest of St. Louis, to local prosecutors.
