More troops deployed in Ferguson

FERGUSON - Missouri's governor ordered hundreds more National Guard troops on Tuesday to a St. Louis suburb rocked by rioting and looting after a grand jury declined to indict a white policeman in the fatal shooting of an unarmed black teenager.

Attorneys for the family of Michael Brown, the 18-year-old shot to death in Ferguson by officer Darren Wilson in August, condemned as biased the St. Louis County grand jury process that led to Monday's decision not to bring charges.

The killing in Ferguson, a predominantly black city with a white-dominated power structure, underscores the occasionally tense nature of US race relations and sometimes strained ties between African-American communities and the police.

The grand jury's decision sparked racially charged protests that were more intense than unrest that erupted in the immediate aftermath of the shooting, but still much smaller than those that followed the acquittal of police officers in the beating of black motorist Rodney King in Los Angeles two decades ago.

"Last night the rioters did some things to our community we all couldn't have woke up this morning imagining," Captain Ron Johnson of Missouri Highway Patrol told reporters.

In Ferguson, about a dozen buildings, including a pizza shop and a beauty parlor, burned overnight as protesters took to the streets in anger. Police said protesters fired guns at them, lit patrol cars on fire and hurled bricks into their lines.

Police fired tear gas and flash-bang canisters at demonstrators, and 61 people were arrested. Police were also investigating as suspicious a body found in a car in Ferguson, and couldn't rule out a link between the death and the rioting.

Meanwhile, Ferguson's mayor James Knowles said the National Guard "was not deployed in enough time to save all of our businesses."

"The decision to delay the deployment of the National Guard is deeply concerning," Knowles told a news conference. "We are asking that the governor make available and deploy all necessary resources to prevent the further destruction of property and the preservation of life in the city of Ferguson."

Governor Jay Nixon said that about 700 guard troops were deployed on Monday and hundreds more will be out on Tuesday night to protect homes and businesses.

"This community deserves to have peace," Nixon told a news conference, adding that more than 2,200 guardsmen are now in the region. "We must do better and we will."

The unrest came despite calls by President Barack Obama and others for police and protesters to exercise restraint. Police had been preparing for months but admitted they were overtaken by the violent events that unfolded.

US Attorney General Eric Holder told reporters he was disappointed by the violent protesters he saw in Ferguson and has asked for a review to identify and isolate "criminal elements" from peaceful protesters.
