Ferguson Missouri November riots - Five things you need to know about them


There have been more days of protests on the streets of Ferguson, Missouri. That was after the grand jury verdict which was not to indict the white police officer Darren Wilson in connection with the shooting of black man Michael Brown. The decision sparked disbelief and anger and led to renewed demonstrations, violence and stand-offs with police and the National Guard. There was plenty of tear gas and many people suffered as a result. Michael Brown's family called for calm in a statement although the protests are on-going.

Truth Loader was able to compile this report with the use of images from DeRay McKesson who is on Twitter - @deray and @natedrug who are both among the protesters on the frontline in Ferguson and doing plenty of live-tweeting pictures and videos.
