Explosive situation again in Ferguson, Missouri ... Two policemen were targeted by gunfire after a protest outside the police station late at night. A few dozen people were still gathered when shots were heard. The crowd dispersed, running and screaming, a Reuters photographer present on the spot saw a policeman hit by a shot.
We still do not know their condition.
The demonstration started after the announcement of the resignation of the head of the local police. The departure of Thomas Jackson is the sixth since that was released a damning report on the racist practices of the local police.
A report commissioned after the death of Michael Brown balls, a young black man killed by a white police officer in August. His death sparked several episodes of violence Ferguson and many events in all the United States.
With shots fired against the police this morning, the tension is still rising a notch.
