Two men suspected of having bought explosives and want to use them during demonstrations were arrested Friday at Ferguson.
Ferguson, this suburb of St. Louis where a young black man was killed by a white police officer last August, had a hectic week, pending a court decision on the case.
On Tuesday, the governor of the state of Missouri declared a state of emergency in the city, while the rumor was spreading a favorable decision to the police, Darren Wilson, who appeared before the grand jury self-defense.
In this climate of tension, Barack Obama called for calm:
"First and foremost, let events unfold peacefully, a This is a country that allows everyone to express their views, which allows to assemble peacefully to protest for things that people consider unjust, but use any event as a pretext for violence is contrary to the rule of law and contrary to what we are. "
If witnesses say that Michael Brown, the young black man had his hands in the air when he was killed, the police has a less angelic version of the victim, relying in particular on a video where he stole cigars in a grocery store and shoved an employee.
The decision on whether or not the police charge was scheduled for the end of the month, but according to county prosecutors in St. Louis, the procedure could be accelerated.
Pending the trial, a similar tragedy took place in New York on Friday, where a 28 year old man, unarmed, was killed by accident by a policeman in a public housing building.
