      <image:title>Michael Brown Jr., Aug. 9, 2014</image:title>
      <image:caption>On Saturday, Aug. 9, 2014, Darren Wilson, a white Ferguson police officer in Missouri, shot and killed Michael Brown, an unarmed 18-year-old black man. Some witnesses say Brown had his hands raised over his head and was surrendering. Another account, according to an investigator, is that Brown assaulted Wilson, reached for the officer's gun and was charging toward the officer when he was shot.

Brown's death sparked a massive response from those upset with what they viewed as an unjustified shooting and the continued targeting of African-American people by police.

A candlelight vigil on Sunday, Aug. 10 for Brown turned violent as police and protesters squared off. The outnumbered police withdrew from the area to call in back up and crowds began to loot businesses and riot in the streets.

Weeks of sustained, sometimes violent, protests followed. On the most intense nights of unrest some protesters threw rocks, bottles, Molotov cocktails, fired gunshots and set fires. In response police used tear gas, rubber bullets and flashbang grenades to break up the crowd.

The days and weeks have stretched into months of protests. Protesters are calling for the arrest of Officer Wilson on murder charges and are seeking wider systematic change. Local, state and federal officials have all launched investigations into the shooting. Currently the region is waiting for the grand jury's decision about whether or not Officer Wilson will face charges in connection with the shooting.</image:caption>

The shots were so close that people could smell smoke from the gunpowder. The gunfire scattered fans game but no one at the game was hurt by gun fire. &quot;They're my kids...I'd rather for me to get hit than them&quot; said Spain. After a short interruption, the game started up again. Photo by David Carson, dcaroson@post-dispatch.com</image:title>

      <image:title>Renee Swink (left) is framed in a bullet hole punched through the front window of Yeatman Market in the 4400 block of Athlone Avenue on Monday, Aug. 3, 2015. The bullet hole is from a shooting that injured three people at about 11:30 a.m. One man suffered a gun shot wound to the leg, another man was hit in his ankle and arm and a third victim sustained a graze wound to his arm. All three victims are expected to survive. The shots were fired from a car at a man who was walking in front of the market. &quot;It's shocking&quot; said Swink whose daughter lives in an apartment above the store. Stray bullets also shattered the store's front glass doors, damaged some wood work and a soda machine. Also pictured is Mustafa Hamed (right) who was helping sweep up the broken glass.

      <image:caption>A man, center, clutching a handgun with an extended magazine and wearing an ankle monitor, runs towards an argument taking place on the entrance road to westbound Forest Park Avenue near Grand Boulevard on Wednesday, March 1, 2023. The heated argument occurred as a balloon release for four victims of a fatal hit-and-run crash was ending. The argument was over &quot;disrespect&quot; and involved multiple people with drawn guns on the street and people in a passing car with guns. Outnumbered and outgunned, police officers at the memorial put out an aid call requesting backup. &quot;I don't give a f*** if the police are here&quot; one of the men shouted. No shots were fired, no one was arrested, and the arguing parties fled as the sirens of many approaching police cars grew louder.Photo by David Carson, dcarson@post-dispatch.com</image:caption>

      <image:title>Dhoruba Shakur (left), and Anna Forder have a discussion at the intersection of Euclid Avenue and Maryland Avenue close to where a St. Louis police sergeant was shot on Tuesday, July 14, 2015. Shakur, a community activists and regular protester, was standing at the intersection with a sign that read &quot;How does it feel??&quot; when Forder approached him and the pair began talking.
Forder, a retired St. Louis judge, told Shakur she felt the sign was &quot;taunting&quot;.
Shakir said he was holding the sign &quot;So people feel disrespected the way I feel disrespected every day&quot;. Shakur feels that the United States was founded on white supremacy and that it still impacts his life.
The pair talked calmly for more than 5 minutes debating issues of race and violence. The conversation ended politely and they parted with an exchange of smiles.
&quot;He's a smart young man. He's educated. But I'm very upset about the shooting of the police officer&quot; said Forder who felt the conversation had been positive. Shakur felt differently about the conversation &quot;She was being condescending&quot;.
