Following the shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown, police dispatched riot-control officers to deal with hundreds of protesters at the crime scene on Saturday night. KMOV reported that more than 100 police cars responded to the demonstration. In a press conference on Sunday, St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar said that the Ferguson Police Department had requested that his office take over the investigation. According to Belmar, one of the two teens who were stopped on the street allegedly pushed the police officer back into the [patrol] car, where he physically assaulted the police officer. Belmar confirmed that the teen was unarmed, and said that his understanding was that there was a struggle over the officers weapon inside the police car.

Belmar added that the Ferguson Police Department would not have asked the St. Louis County Crimes Against Persons Unit to investigate if it was trying to hide something. read more [Forwarded by the MyLeftBlogosphere news engine.
