Why are they still trying to spin this like it's a racial problem? What does it matter that the teenager was black and the police officer was white? Intentional distinction is more racist than the event they're reporting on. It's like they're trying to stir up more trouble than there exists.

Only question is this paid administrative leave and will it be a lesson to the others to chill out. But to be fair, it's gotta be a tough position to be in when crowds are taunting you and you're on camera. Part of the job I guess.

A St. Louis-area police officer was suspended indefinitely on Wednesday for pointing a semi-automatic assault rifle at a peaceful demonstrator as tensions flared during protests over the Aug. 9 police shooting of black teenager Michael Brown.
The incident just before midnight on Tuesday punctuated the 11th straight night of racially charged demonstrations in the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson, Missouri, since Brown, an unarmed 18-year-old, was slain by a white police officer.
No one was hurt in the gun-pointing confrontation, but the incident underscored what many have criticized as heavy-handed and unprofessional police tactics that have helped stoke continuing civil unrest.
