САЩ: Протестиращи в Ел Ей блокираха улиците

Dozens of protesters marched along S Broadway in Los Angeles, stopping at several junctions and performing a 'die-in' in order to block traffic, Sunday. The protest was organised to commemorate the first anniversary of the death of 18-year-old Michael Brown who was shot and killed by a white police officer. Activist Keith James from the Stop Mass Incarceration Network called on people to rally together to bring an end to police shootings and deaths. Protesters could be seen carrying placards with pictures of other young black males such as Ezell Ford and Trayvon Martin who also died at the hands of the police in recent times. Brown was shot by officer Darren Wilson 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."
