Check out these additional details right here…
Some reports claim police may have planted a weapon at the crime scene.
Not long after the fatal shooting of Antonio Martin by a St. Louis police officer Tuesday night, a series of images began making the Twitter rounds early Wednesday morning purporting to show the appearance of a handgun not present at the original scene. (Mediaite)
Martin’s family has since spoken out on his death.
The parents of Antonio Martin say their son was killed by police in Berkeley, Mo., last night. And while he had had problems, it “doesn’t make any sense for them to kill my son like this,” Toni Martin-Green tells the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. She added, “I am trying to remain calm.” (NPR)
Reports of the 18-year-old losing his life surfaced early Wednesday (December 24).
A cop fatally shot a teenager at a gas station late Tuesday just miles from Ferguson, Missouri, police said, setting off angry clashes between demonstrators and officers. St. Louis County Police confirmed in a statement that an officer from the city of Berkeley had “fired several shots,” saying the cop was “fearing for his life” after a male allegedly pulled out a handgun and pointed it at him. A handgun was recovered at the scene, police added. (NBC News)

Not to sound like you are totally wrong but what else do you want them to do? They like us are at home and probably chillin right now. Make a record? Not much you can do when someone gets shot and killed besides speak about it or voice your opinion on social networking.
