                 Police Make Arrests in Fresh Ferguson Protests

   by VOA News

   Police in Missouri arrested protesters on Wednesday as they blocked
   access to a highway near the U.S. city where a white police officer
   fatally shot an unarmed black teenager last month.

   A group of about 150 people gathered at the on-ramp to a major roadway
   [Interstate 70] close to Ferguson to call for justice in the case of
   Michael Brown, who died on August 9.

   An Associated Press reporter saw at least 12 demonstrators in handcuffs
   as police dispersed the protest.

   Brown's death triggered weeks of rallies in the streets of Ferguson
   that at times turned into violent clashes with police. Supporters of
   the teen have accused law enforcement of institutionalized
   discrimination against minorities in the area.
