Violence after Ferguson jury ruling

There have been rioting and looting in Ferguson after a jury decided not to bring charges over the killing of Michael Brown.

St. Louis County Police Chief, Jon Belmar said rioters fired 150 shots. Michael Brown was shot dead by a white police officer, Darren Wilson, on August 9, sparking protests.

Many in the African American community have called for Mr Wilson to be charged with murder, but following lengthy deliberations, a grand jury made no recommendation of the charge.

President Barack Obama has joined the teenager's family in appealing for calm, urging Americans to accept the decision.

There are reports of vandalism and looting after the ruling, than on any night in August.
