Although death is always sad, they recovered a handgun at the scene so the kid wasn't innocent obviously, and if people wont accept that he wasn't innocent that's there point of view and that's them but they cant go starting like a racism war because of that. Theirs facts then there's the like made up and some people find it hard to see which ones which

The cop maybe could have settled the situation differently, but the rioting and throwing bricks and setting a fire work off near a gas station is unacceptable. You can protest all you want but you can't hurt the people that are trying to protect you.

It's unfortunate that these types of riots are happening and it's to blame on race and ignorance. It's also sad it happened so close to Ferguson, but in this case the boy clearly wasn't innocent himself. The young boy had a gun on him and did raise his hand, and an officer will go to any lengths to defend himself and other citizens around. There shouldn't be riots over this situation because the boy was in the wrong. Not every situation that involve two different colored people is unjust because of race.

"A bill that bans the wearing of masks during a riot or unlawful assembly and carries a maximum 10-year prison sentence with a conviction of the offence became law today."

"One of the most significant police trials in US history begins on Monday and as the former officer who killed George Floyd stands before a judge, a jury and the world, many in Black communities in Minneapolis are braced against the dread of justice not being served."

No matter what people are going to be upset. Protests and riots will take place all over the country. There are so many different opinions and there will be so many clashes of opinions. I'll be interested to keep an eye on the news and what's going on, especially in bigger cities where the protests got kind of wild.

I think that no matter what happens people will be upset and will want to protest and riot. There will be no decision that can please everyone therefore there won't be an end to this any time soon.

There is a game called League of Legends that was developed over 2 years ago. This game is gaining massive popularity, primarily because those who succeed enough at this game get payed to play. For example, George Liu, a 23 year old resident of California makes over 500 dollars a day to play this game for 6 hours a day, 4-5 days a week. This is not even the highest they pay. Similar to sports, this is a team game. Recently, like all sports, they began to hold a 3 week "season playoff" game in which the winning team would receive 1 million dollars (Split between 5 people), and anyone who made it to the finals, left with at least 5 grand in there pocket, not to mention an all expenses payed trip to 3 locations in which they would host the game play. Sounds like fun right, getting payed to play a game you like? What's not fun, cheating. North America's #1 team was eliminated the first game, by the Korean team. Many claim the game play to be unfair, claims of map hacking, and many other claims of cheating have been made. So, an internationally popular game is taking away prize money which will be donated to charity, but the issues of this are so dramatic. So many opinions have been formed, that this is getting a little out of hand, over a game.

i think its crazy how much funding there is toward this game. i can understand the riot because people can get passionate about anything, but they're spending a lot just for a single game.

It's a world-wide competitive game. I mean, I see football players making more then these guys are giving away. Alex, the American teams nationality was from the same nation that had beat them.

In video captured by CNN affiliate WMAR, the woman is seen pulling her masked son away from a crowd, smacking him in the head repeatedly, and screaming at him. As he tries to walk away, she follows him, screaming, "Get the f--- over here!" Eventually, he turns toward her, his face no longer covered.

(CNN) -- Michael Brown's stepfather says he's sorry for his emotional outburst to demonstrators after learning a police officer wouldn't be indicted in the teen's death. But he says he's unfairly taking heat for the rioting that followed.

The emotional outburst is understandable, but to have such an outburst that it can be threatening, is too far. I'm glad he apologized, but he should of never said those threats in the first place.

I think that is was good to apologize. Everyone does speak out of anger and in this situation I'm sure a lot of people are speaking out of anger. Almost everyone is acting out of anger right now.

There are MANY issues to discuss in this article. Now that the Impeachment trial is finished, I am interested to see what your thoughts on this process are and if you have any predictions of the future of politics for Donald Trump and the Republican party!

I agree that Trump will run for president when he gets the chance again but it is hard to say if he will even be president again after what he did with the capital.

Trump said he will be running for president in 2024. I believe it's going to be hard for him to win After the capital situation because it showed he's not accountable for his actions

"A majority of Americans now say relations between blacks and whites have worsened since Obama took office."

I feel like race is only a problem when an incident has been taken out of proportion, if something happens to a white person not many people care but if a black person gets hurt everybody goes crazy, so people just need to chill, people normally don't intentionally try and hurt another person, accidents occur people just need to think more rationally rather than personally.

I agree with Bradley. The relations between blacks and whites have gotten way better then what they used to be.

From what I have heard, the security at the embassy that the ambassador was killed in may or may not have been lacking, which would have been a major oversight.

"Here's a quick Q&A to get you caught up on what happened on Monday and what to expect going forward."

The way the U.S. is taking this really shows how much we rely on our government, and how much people take for granted in our every day lives. I'm surprised that there haven't been any major riots because of all the effects this could have if this shutdown continues.

(CNN) -- Five people were arrested as tensions flared again in Ferguson, Missouri, with people threatening officers, shooting at them, throwing rocks and bottles, and one person tossing a Molotov cocktail at a parking structure, police say. Two officers were injured, one struck by a rock below the eye, Capt.

I hope they(the looters) don't use this second riot to steal from uninvolved people again.

Ever since this event had happened, has caused people to not be so trusting of police.

When Michael Brown was shot by a police officer in Ferguson, Mo., last August, his death set off riots and violence - and posed deep questions about race relations in America. The Ferguson Commission, appointed by Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon, was tasked with finding some answers.

Brown's blood was found on officer Wilson's uniform and in the police car, which supports the claim that there was a struggle that justified use of deadly force. If there is not an indictment of the officer, there are fears that the riots in Ferguson will spiral out of control.

Shia LaBeouf was arrested in New York early Thursday during a protest against President Donald Trump after he allegedly attacked a 25-year-old man - and video of the entire incident was posted online. The 30-year-old actor was taken into custody around 12:30 a.m.

I agree with Reed, the person did this to get a rise out of the actor.

The protester was clearly trying to upset Shia enough for him to attack him. Because once that happened, he was arrested and it was put all over the news, making him look like he attacked an innocent person for absolutely no reason.

I completely agree with this idea. Social media cannot stop the president/ politicians from spreading their ideas and opinions as they shouldn't be able to for anyone else. They should get treated the same and if anything is better for us as people to see what they post and get better/ easier insights on their personal views. We have the right to know our president's views and they have the right to express them. Especially since so many people are on social media it helps educate people better than just reading what the news say that they say.

I dont agree with this becuase it's dumb why would a state be able to control what a private owned company does or doesn't do.

This process took too long to complete before Trump left office. Now some feel that finishing the Senate trial is a waste of time. What do you think?

I think they should not try impeaching again because now that Trump is out of office they don't have to worry about whatever he does. America has several other huge problems and needs to focus all of its attention on getting life back to normal before worrying about a man that's not in any federal position.

Commenting of what ndvorak said here. I do, in fact, believe most politicians are criminals. Every politician that has not tried to use their powers to quell deaths during Covid, or tried to stop our shipments of weapons to Saudi Arabia, or tried to stop our use of drone warfare, they have blood on their hands.

"Donald Trump's unprecedented second impeachment trial begins on Tuesday 9 February in the Senate. He is the first US president to be impeached twice, and it is the first time an impeachment trial has been held against a former president"

In trumps rally he never openly said that his supporters should have stormed the capitol he said that they should "Fight like hell" and "Peacefully and "Patriotically Make your voices heard". A second impeachment isn't necessary.

Um, I think a second impeachment is very needed. Trump may have done good for the economy and we can thank him for that, but as a person he is horrid. The thing he says, does, posts, etc, he acts like a little 14-year-old girl and I would rather my country not be run by a child. Him being impeached TWICE says enough. The things you have to do to be impeached even once..

This is pretty biased, but what do you think? I honestly just want the riots to stop, there's a big difference between peacefully protesting and exercising your amendments and burning down buildings and people's livelihoods for "justice".
