TYT: White Cop Kills Black Teen Near Ferguson
"A white police officer shot a black teenager to death at a gas station in the city next door to Ferguson, Missouri, touching off clashes early Wednesday between demonstrators and law enforcement.
The mayor said that video from the confrontation, in the city of Berkeley, appeared to show the teenager pointing a gun at the officer, and police said a handgun was recovered at the scene. Police said the officer feared for his life.
"This was not the same as Ferguson," Mayor Theodore Hoskins said."* The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down.
