САЩ: Поне 50 ареста бяха направени в Сейнт Луйс след обяване на кризистна ситуация

Police made up to 50 arrests during a 'Day of Civil Disobedience' rally marking the anniversary of Michael Brown's death, outside the federal courthouse in St. Louis on Monday. The arrests took place after demonstrators broke through the barricades put up in front of the building. Prominent activists Cornel West and Reverend Osagyefo Uhuru Sekou were among those detained by police in front of the court. Actions have been called across the United States to demand justice for Brown one year since he was shot dead by a white police officer in Ferguson. On Sunday night gun fire was exchanged between police and unidentified persons during a Mike Brown solidarity rally in Ferguson. Police say they shot a person during the exchange. The event was part of a weekend-long '#UnitedWeFight' programme, organised to commemorate the first anniversary of Mike Brown's death. Authorities have declared a state of emergency in St. Louis. Eighteen-year-old Brown was shot by officer Darren Wilson in Ferguson on 9 August 2014, sparking protests across the United States. On November 24 2014, the St Louis County grand jury announced that Darren Wilson would not be indicted and on 4 March 2015, the US Department of Justice cleared the police officer of civil rights violations claiming that Brown was shot in "self-defence."
