Missouri Governor Jay Nixon said that 2,200 National Guard troops would be deployed in and around the suburbs of St. Louis, the BBC reported.
Policeman Darren Wilson who killed teenager Michael Brown told ABC said that he was sorry for the loss of life, but that he was just doing his job. He added that he had a clear conscience when it comes to the incident and would not act differently now.
Wilson argues that Brown got in his car and grabbed his rifle, and he had to shoot because he was afraid for his life.
The officer made a statement a day after the jury decided not to indict him in the case. However, ABC reported that Wilson could face U.S. federal lawsuits.
The decision not to prosecute Wilson has sparked anger and chaos in the streets of Ferguson, with protests spreading rapidly to many other cities, including New York, Washington, Los Angeles, Chicago, but with no major riots there.
Protesters in St. Louis, on the other hand, destroyed and smashed everything in their way. The rioting has caused considerable damage. More than 80 people were arrested in the whole area of the city, mainly for offenses and robbery.
U.S. President Barack Obama, meanwhile, said he was disappointed and disturbed by the violence in American streets.
Lawyers for the family of Michael Brown condemned as unfair the legal process where no charges were brought against the police officer.
UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Prince Zeid Ra'ad Zeid Al-Hussein said that he was "deeply concerned at the disproportionate number of young African Americans who die in encounters with police officers, as well as the disproportionate number of African Americans in U.S. prisons and the disproportionate number of African Americans on Death Row."
The incidents have also shown that the gulf between most white and African American citizens in the U.S. still persists.
Zora Zori Amerika Gori !!! USA is a nation totally divided ! USA going around all over the world to dictate human rights policy to other nations but look at the reality inside of the USA what is really going on. In the USA for centuries the African American people are treated as sub humans by the White racist ( German and English decendent's ). Black people severly discriminated in USA only for the color of their skin. White racist police in the USA pretty much given the authority to execute African American people, again like I mention in my other comments " who is really in charge of the USA ". We all see the facts here, a racist White police man ( Wilson ) empties his gun on a Black UNARMED human being in the middle of the day in front of many witnesses and he gets away with murder, no indictment because the jury was 75 percent racist White and the prosecuter a racist White. In the USA Black people with targets on their heads and the USA is going all over the world to dictate human rights policy? The USA likes to dictate to the whole world but in true reality should dedicate it's efforts within it's own borders. USA and the International Community picking a fight with Russia today! How will the USA fight a war with Russia when it can not even control a group of protesters in one small community inside the USA? The govener of Missouri is asking for 10,000 national guard to come in and help control the Black protesters, what a joke, what a circus and what a shame!!!
