CHICAGO Authentic Gordie Howe Jersey , Aug. 19 (Xinhua) -- Police shot and killed another 18-year-old black boy on Wednesday 10 days after the first anniversary of death of Michael Brown in north St. Louis, Missouri.

The police officers in St. Louis, which hit the headlines for its suburb Ferguson where Brown was killed, said the young man they fatally shot had pointed a gun at them.

They later identified the victim as Mansur Ball-Bey, aged 18.

Some 200 demonstrators gathered at the scene after the shooting. Chanting "Black Lives Matter," they questioned the police use of deadly force.

St. Louis County Police Chief Sam Dotson told reporters at a press conference that two young armed male suspects ran out of the back of a house Cheap Dylan Larkin Jersey , and two police officers chased the suspects.

During the chase, one of the suspects raised his gun and pointed it at officers, the officers then shot at the suspects, killing one, while the other got away. The two officers are not injured and are on administrative leave now.

Tensions remain high in St. Louis area after unrest during the anniversary of Brown's death. Unarmed Brown was fatally shot by a white police officer on August 9, 2014. A St. Louis County grand jury and the U.S. Justice Department declined to charge the officer.

While I disagree with many of Sen. John McCain's policies Cheap Frans Nielsen Jersey , I am willing to concede that he may at least make a wise, rational president and represent a step in the right direction for the nation. No longer. With his pick of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate, he has shown a spectacular, even dangerous lack of judgment.

In addition to her frightening lack of qualification to be vice president (much less president) of the United States, Palin is an evangelical, anti-choice Cheap Mike Green Jersey , pro-gun, right-wing conservative who wants creationism taught in schools. She is currently under investigation by the Alaska Legislature for alleged abuse of office. I simply cannot imagine Palin having anything to do with U.S. foreign policy, domestic policy, national defense or the countless other affairs of federal governance.

A particularly worrisome aspect of the Palin candidacy is her abysmal record on the environment during her two years as Alaska governor, and how that would translate into national environmental policy if she became vice president. Her environmental record as governor of the nation's "last frontier" deserves close examination.

1) Climate change. Although Alaska is ground zero in the crisis of global warming, Palin has done virtually nothing to address the problem except hold meetings and appoint a "climate sub-cabinet" that likewise has done little. Lots of talk Cheap Gordie Howe Jersey , no action. Although in the past two years the Arctic summer sea ice shrunk to the lowest levels ever recorded, Palin apparently does not believe it is human-induced or cause for alarm. She was asked to establish an Alaska Office on Climate Change, an Alaska Climate Response Fund (based on a tax on Alaska oil production) and emissions reduction targets for Alaska, but has taken no action on those requests.

2) Polar bears. This summer, Palin filed suit against the Bush administration over the federal listing of polar bears as threatened, saying that her opposition was based on a "comprehensive scientific review." But when asked to release the scientific review Dylan Larkin Jersey , she refused. The document, later obtained by the public (from the federal government), clearly shows that, contrary to Palin's assertions, the state of Alaska's marine mammal scientists agreed with the federal conclusions that the polar bears are in serious trouble because of global warming and loss of their sea ice habitat, and that they would be gone from Alaska by 2050.

Palin clearly decided to oppose the listing in order to protect Arctic oil and gas development Frans Nielsen Jersey , then publicly misrepresented the basis for her decision, and then tried to conceal all of that. Having run for office on a platform of honesty and transparency, this behavior was neither. Her extreme position here puts her to the political right of the Bush Cheney administration.

3) Endangered species. Earlier this year, Palin approved a $2 million state appropriation for a conference on the "economic impacts" of the Endangered Species Act, designed to persuade the public that ESA listings were too costly and unwarranted. Recently she agreed to use the money instead to fund the state's lawsuit against the Bush administration over the polar bear listing - a likely violation of the state constitutional provisions on appropriation. She opposes additional species listings and other protections in Alaska, where many species are at risk because of climate change and other threats.

4) Predator control. Palin approved and expanded the state's aerial predator control program Mike Green Jersey , where wolves are shot from aircraft and bears hunted from aircraft and killed upon landing. This year, her state biologists even dragged 14 newborn wolf pups from their den and, having already shot their parents, then shot each of the pups in the head at close range. Last year, her administration offered a $150 bounty for each wolf killed until the bounty was ruled illegal by the courts. Hundreds of wolves are killed each year by this antiquated state program that has no scientific justification whatsoever, but rather is designed to appease Palin's urban sport hunter supporters.

5) Pebble mine. Palin aggressively opposed the "clean water initiative" on the August ballot in Alaska (which then failed) Gordie Howe Jersey , favoring instead foreign mining company desires for fewer government regulations controlling their toxic effluent into salmon streams. She has supported virtually any and all mining proposals that have come her way, even likely the enormous Pebble gold and copper mine proposed in the Bristol Bay watershed. That plan put at risk the largest runs of sockeye salmon in the w.
