Over 1,000 angry protestors belted out stark slogans at riot police in St. Louis, Monday morning (Oct. 13). The massive uproar that continues to exponentially increase in body count, is over the fatal shootings of two local Black youths by white cops.

Many on the night march chanted, “Indict, convict, put the killer cops in jail. The whole damn system is guilty as hell,” in the city where a white off-duty officer shot and killed teenager Vonderrit Myers Jr. last week. Police said the youth had opened fire.
Almost two months to the day earlier, another white officer shot and killed unarmed teenager Michael Brown in the St Louis suburb of Ferguson after what police described as an altercation. The shootings have focused global attention on the state of race relations in the United States and evoked memories of other racially-charged cases, including the fatal shooting of black 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in Florida in 2012.
According to reports, officers are as equally unwavering as the citizens they’re called to serve and protect. Cops in riot gear were seen beating their batons on the ground in unison as they faced off against the marchers. This is but a recipe for disaster.
