Police officers supported by the National Guard use smoke grenades and tear gas against angry demonstrators, some of whom, masked and ready for violence, respond with stones and Molotov cocktails. The initially peaceful demonstration was triggered by the death of African-American youth Michael Brown, who was shot dead by police officer Darren Wilson on  August 9, 2014. The protesters criticize the racist police violence and demand an indictment and just conviction of the suspended police officer.
