Protests in St. Louis, Missouri, turned violent late on Friday, Sept. 15, after a white police officer was acquitted of shooting a black man dead in 2011.
Police fired tear gas to disperse demonstrators, who threw rocks and bottles at police. Around 1,000 protesters surrounded the home of the city’s mayor, breaking at least two windows and throwing red paint at her home, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
