ST. LOUIS (Reuters) – The white officer who shot dead unarmed black teenager Michael Brown in August, spurring a wave of violent protests, would be the first policeman charged for killing a suspect in St. Louis County in more than two decades.

For weeks, protesters in the mostly black St. Louis suburb of Ferguson have piled pressure on authorities, demanding that the officer, Darren Wilson, be charged and Prosecutor Bob McCulloch be replaced with a special prosecutor.

The prosecutor opted not to press charges and presented the case to the grand jury because of conflicting testimony from witnesses, his office said.

“It’s not even a question about whether there will be unrest, people have made it very clear. We have a very fragile peace right now. If people don’t feel like they get justice, it will be very hard to hold these folks back,” said St. Louis Alderman Antonio French.

I'm afraid that Ferguson is going to burn.
