Public Outcry After Police Shooting of Black St. Louis Teenager

John Gaskin, a member of the St. Louis NAACP, said the FBI should get involved “to protect the integrity of the investigation.”

“With the recent events of a young man killed by the police in New York City and with Trayvon Martin and with all the other African-American young men that have been killed by police officers … this is a dire concern to the NAACP, especially our local organization,” Gaskin said.

The teenager’s name began trending on Twitter and Facebook as news of his killing spread. Protestors have planned a rally outside the Ferguson police station Monday morning.
