Protests return to Ferguson streets, state of emergency declared-Reuters By Carey Gillam and Scott Malone-AUG 11,15-YAHOONEWS
FERGUSON, Mo. (Reuters) - Riot police clashed early on Tuesday with protesters in the streets of Ferguson, Missouri marking the anniversary of the police shooting of an unarmed black teen whose death sparked a national outcry over strained race relations.About 200 demonstrators, some waving flags, beating drums, and shouting anti-police slogans, marched along a street that was a flashpoint of riots that erupted last year after white police officer Darren Wilson killed 18-year-old Michael Brown.Police carrying shields rushed into a crowd of protesters around midnight, prompting many to scream and run away. Twenty-three people were arrested, some for throwing frozen water bottles and rocks at officers, according to the St. Louis County Police Department.Authorities declared a state of emergency on Monday for the St. Louis suburb and surrounding areas after police officers shot and critically wounded a man in an exchange of gunfire Sunday night, marring what had been a day of peaceful demonstrations to commemorate the anniversary.Ferguson resident Roberta Lynch, 51, one of the demonstrators on Monday evening, said relations between police and the community had improved little over the past year."They are doing the same old stuff, taking our rights," Lynch said. "They need to give us our space."Monday's demonstrations capped a day of civil disobedience called by activists to protest against the shooting of Brown and other unarmed black men by police across the United States.Clergy and civil rights groups led a series of protests, staging a demonstration at a courthouse in St. Louis where 60 people were arrested, including Princeton University professor and activist Cornel West, according to a protest organizer.Police arrested several dozen other protesters who blocked rush-hour traffic on Interstate 70 a few miles from Ferguson hours later, according to a Reuters witness.The death of Brown and a grand jury's decision to spare the white officer from criminal charges provoked a wave of demonstrations that boiled over into rioting and arson at times and spawned sympathy rallies across the country.Brown's death also prompted greater scrutiny of racial bias within the U.S. criminal justice system, giving rise to the "Black Lives Matter" movement that gained momentum from similar incidents in cities such as New York, Baltimore, Los Angeles, Cincinnati and, most recently, Arlington, Texas..MARRED BY VIOLENCE-In Ferguson, tensions rose after darkness fell on Monday, with some demonstrators throwing objects at officers who pushed back with shields. Small unmanned aerial drones circled above the crowd. It was unclear who was flying the drones.Others protesters called for calm on the streets. By early morning, most people had vacated areas where confrontations had occurred and police reopened streets to traffic.There were no shots fired, looting or property damage and no injuries were reported by police or civilians, the St. Louis County Police Department said.St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar told reporters police would give protesters leeway to march but said the authorities also had to maintain public safety."We are going to let them vent and we are going to manage it the best we possibly can. Last night was pretty out of control at times. Unfortunately, all the good work that's happening on both sides of the street has been marred by violence."The violence, according to Belmar, erupted Sunday when two groups of agitators apparently began shooting at each other, disrupting what had been peaceful demonstrations. At one point, a gunman darted across a parking lot and was confronted by four officers who pulled up in an unmarked vehicle.The officers wounded the suspect critically in an exchange of gunfire, according to police.Prosecutors charged the man, Tyrone Harris with four counts of assault on law enforcement, five counts of armed criminal action, and one count of shooting at a vehicle. His bond was set at $250,000.Harris's father said his son, who was hospitalized, did not have a gun. "He was running for his ... life because someone was shooting at him," Tyrone Harris, Sr., said in a telephone interview from his St. Louis-area home.The younger Harris was out on bond awaiting trial on charges from November of stealing a motor vehicle, theft of a firearm and resisting arrest.Activist groups said the plainclothes officers who shot Harris should never have been deployed to the scene.Missouri Governor Jay Nixon called Sunday's violence "a sad turn of events."Michael Brown's father, Michael Brown Sr., said on Facebook that the peaceful weekend protests were "meaningful, inspiring and successful ... With your support, we properly honored your friend and my son's memory."Protester Rayna Martin, 17, who lives in the neighborhood where Brown was shot, said the violence within her community has been made worse by the actions of police. "They kill us, they get away with it. It's crazy," she said.(Additional reporting by Lucas Jackson in Ferguson, Missouri, Mary Wisniewski and Fiona Ortiz in Chicago and Brendan O'Brien in Milwaukee; Writing by Jon Herskovitz, Eric M.

Ferguson State Of Emergency: Shot Teen Charged-Sky NewsBy Sky News US Team | Sky News – AUG 11,15-YAHOONEWS
A teen critically injured after he was shot by police during protests in Ferguson, Missouri, has been charged, and a state of emergency is in place.Authorities said Tyrone Harris Jr was wounded during a gun battle with plainclothes officers on Sunday night as demonstrators marked the anniversary of Michael Brown's death.Harris, 18, allegedly opened fire on the officers, who had been tracking him on suspicion of carrying a firearm.St Louis County prosecutors charged Harris with four counts of assault on law enforcement and shooting at a motor vehicle.The teen, who remains in a critical condition in hospital, was ordered held on $250,000 bond.Unrest in continued into Monday as St Louis County issued a state of emergency in Ferguson.Riot police were out in force as around 200 protesters waved flags, beat drums and shouted anti-police slogans.Nine people were arrested after protesters briefly blocked a street that was a flashpoint during the riots that followed the death of Michael Brown, who was fatally shot by Ferguson officer Darren Wilson on 9 August last year.According to St Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar, the officers who shot Tyrone Harris Jr suspected he was armed and had been keeping an eye on him during the protests.At one point, Harris allegedly approached the police vehicle and opened fire, Chief Belmer said. The officers then returned fire and pursued the suspect on foot.The St Louis County Police Department tweeted pictures of at least two unmarked cars that were hit by gunfire.No officers were injured, and those involved in the shooting have been placed on administrative leave.Video captured on a mobile phone showed officers standing over the injured suspect as an onlooker can be heard urging police to "please get him some help".Harris' father, Tyrone Harris Sr, told the AP news agency on Monday the police version of events is "a bunch of lies".He said his son had been drawn into a dispute involving two groups of young people and was unarmed when the officers shot him eight to 12 times."My son was running to the police to ask for help, and he was shot," Mr Harris said."It's all a bunch of lies ... They're making my son look like a criminal."Chief Belmer said at a news conference the teen was armed with a 9mm handgun that had been stolen last year from Cape Girardeau, Missouri.Mr Harris told the St Louis Post-Dispatch his son was "real close" with Mr Brown.Sunday night's shooting took place at about 11:15pm - the height of what was already a rowdy protest in which rocks and bottles were thrown at officers and some stores looted.Police also said two teenagers were injured in a drive-by shooting near a monument to Mr Brown early on Monday.
Cutting terms for some violent crimes key to easing U.S. mass incarceration: analysis-Reuters By Barbara Goldberg-AUG 11,15-YAHOONEWS
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Mass incarceration, a problem that President Barack Obama and nearly all 2016 White House hopefuls agree must be tackled, can only be substantially reduced by easing punishments for some violent criminals, according to an analysis released on Tuesday.A range of ideas for shrinking the swelling U.S. prison population, now at 2.2 million, was advanced by the Urban Institute, a policy think tank, in the wake of Obama's historic prison visit last month and call for congressional sentencing reform legislation.The Urban Institute unveiled an online tool, called the Prison Population Forecaster, to measure how the changes would affect the prison population, which grew exponentially over the past four decades even as crime dropped to all-time recorded lows. (http://ift.tt/1HD40Za)The issue especially resonates in the African-American community, with black men six times as likely as white men to be incarcerated in the United States, according to the Pew Research Center.The tool is meant to help determine what states actually need to do to trim prison populations by as much as 50 percent, said Urban Institute researcher Bryce Peterson. It uses data from 15 states that represent nearly 40 percent of the U.S. prison population.The first example focused on narcotics offenses. Many states have been reforming their drug laws, and if the number of people imprisoned for drug offenses were cut in half, that could shrink the prison population by 7 percent by 2022.Sentencing reform for property offenses such as burglary could have an even greater effect, as would rethinking the decision to lock up parolees who commit technical violations of their release. Imprisoning half as many parole violators could reduce prison populations by 14 percent by 2022.But with most people in state prisons incarcerated for a violent offense, the most effective method would be shortening the length of stays for some violent crimes, the researchers said.In Michigan, New Jersey, New York and Rhode Island, reducing the length of incarceration for violent offenses by 15 percent would cut the prison population by 50 percent more than reducing drug admissions, the institute said."We believe there is no way to have a substantial impact on mass incarceration without considering violent offenses," Peterson said."Not every person in prison for a 'violent offense' is a murderer or an imminent danger to the public," he said. "Violent offenses include simple assaults, (like) a bar fight."The 15 states in the forecasting tool are Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, Washington and Wyoming.(Reporting by Barbara Goldberg; Editing by Scott Malone and Peter Cooney)
Heavily armed 'Oath Keepers' inject new unease to riot-hit Ferguson-Reuters By Scott Malone- AUG 11,15-YAHOONEWS
FERGUSON, Mo. (Reuters) - Four civilians carrying military-style rifles and sidearms patrolled a riot-torn street in Ferguson, Missouri, early Tuesday, saying they were there to protect a media organization but drawing swift criticism from police and protesters alike.The appearance of the four men, all white, quickly drew stares in the mostly black neighborhood, which exploded into violence again on Sunday night as protesters marked the police killing of an unarmed black teen a year ago.The men identified themselves as part of a group called "Oath Keepers," which describes itself as an association of current and former U.S. soldiers and police who aim to protect the U.S. Constitution.The Southern Poverty Law Center, a non-profit civil rights organization, has described the "Oath Keepers" as a "fiercely anti-government, militaristic group," and St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar condemned their appearance in Ferguson."Their presence was both unnecessary and inflammatory," he said, adding that police would work with county prosecutors to see if the men had broken any laws.Led by a man who gave his name only as John, the group, whose members wore bulletproof vests and carried sidearms in addition to combat-style rifles, said they had come to protect a journalist from the conservative "Infowars.com" Web site."There were problems here, there were people who got hurt. We needed to be prepared for that," said the man, who noted that Missouri state laws generally allow the open carrying of heavy weapons of the kind that his group were brandishing. InfoWars could not be reached for immediate comment.Ferguson has seen months of violent protest since the fatal shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown by a white police officer a year ago. Sunday night's protests were punctuated by gunfire, with police shooting and critically wounding a man who they said had opened fire on them.Monday's protests were less chaotic, with about nine people arrested in skirmishes with police that saw protesters throw rocks and bottles at officers.But many in the crowd questioned the wisdom of openly carrying such heavy weapons into an emotionally charged situation."You’re going to bring some uncommissioned citizens, white citizens, into a black community like this? It's disrespectful," said Talal Ahmad, 30, who is black and has been a fixture of the last year's protests, which prompted a Justice Department review that found Ferguson's police department routinely violated city residents' civil rights." Here, in a black neighborhood, we’re already living in a state of terror," Ahmad said.(This version of the story corrects description of rifles to military-style from automatic in first paragraph)-(Reporting by Scott Malone)
