Hands up, don't shoot

The mayor of the U.S. city at the center of a deadly police shooting that sparked repeated nights of racially charged unrest pledged Nov. 30 to rebuild.

Tensions have escalated again in Ferguson, over the past hours, with protesters marching there and also in a number of US cities.

This was the second night of protests after a court ruling sparked unrest across Ferguson, where Michael Brown was shot dead by police officer Darren Wilson in August.

More than 100 protesters marched through St. Louis late Nov. 23, stepping up pressure on a grand jury to indict a white police officer for shooting dead an unarmed black teenager.

Michael Brown, an 18-year-old high school graduate planning to go to technical college, was shot at least six times by Darren Wilson in the suburb of Ferguson on August 9, inflaming racial tensions.
