In Missouri, a member of the large jury of the jury, which considered the case of the death of an unarmed black teenager at the hands of a white policeman, sued the prosecutor investigating the case. The jury, whose name is not reported, is seeking to publicly tell about the circumstances of the court hearings, but the laws of the state prohibit this, the BBC Russian service reports.
According to the representative of the American Union of Civil Freedom, the jury wants to talk about how evidence was presented in the process.
Recall, on August 9, 2014, in the city of Ferguson in Missouri, the police Darren Wilson shot 18-year-old Michael Brown, who stole a pack of cigarettes in the store, after the suspected of theft refused to submit to the requirements of law enforcement and began a brawl with one of them.
Eyewitnesses and journalists sympathizing with Brown claimed that at the moment when a law enforcement officer opened fire on Brown, a young man who had no weapons with him, already stood with his hands with his hands and had no danger to the police.
The policeman himself assured that the black teenager, although he was unarmed, but had impressive dimensions, smelled of marijuana. According to Wilson, Brown tried to take away a service weapon from the law enforcement officer, and at the time of the tragedy he did not stand with his hands, but rushed to the policeman.
Darren Wilson claimed that he had made not one, but a few shots, defending himself, and especially noted that he was a nearby comrade Brown (also a suspect of the theft of cigarettes), who did not join the brawl, was not injured. The day after the murder in the city, spontaneous protests and mass riots began.
On November 24, a large jury of jury, which in the United States solves the issue of the jurisdiction of the luggled, has not found enough reason to initiate a criminal case against Darren Wilson.
After the decision of this decision, hundreds of inhabitants of Ferguson, inhabited mainly by African Americans, took to the streets in protest. The action quickly grew into riots with pogroms, arson, looting and shooting.
Large-scale demonstrations also took place in New York, Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia, Dallas, Atlanta, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Auckland and other cities across the country. Many in the USA consider the incident on August 9 a racial murder.
