Rival rallies as peace returns to Ferguson

FERGUSON, United States: Rival rallies —demanding justice for the unarmed black teenager shot two weeks ago by a white police officer, and in support of that police officer— brought people to the streets of a Missouri town on Saturday (Sunday in Manila).

But authorities in the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson, where Brown was killed on August 9, reported the night was the most peaceful in two weeks of racially charged demonstrations—some of them violent —over the 18-year-old’s death.
