There are conflicting reports as to whether the victim was armed or not, but a white cop has once again shot a black kid in the St. Louis area, near the town of Ferguson where Michael Brown was killed a month or two ago.

The cops’ version of the incident has the kid as a fugitive who jumped the cop from some bushes after being chased. The witnesses’ version has him as a bystander who happened along the scene of a chase already going on.

Either way, the African-American citizens of St. Louis are angry. It seems like the cops have declared open season on black teenagers in that city and its suburbs.
