Tempers Flare at Vigil, 18 Arrested - protests for NYC teen shot by police march 2103

	Tempers Flare at Vigil, 18 Arrested - protests for NYC teen shot by police march 2103 For a third straight day demonstrators gathered in Brooklyn to protest the New York Police Department after the fatal police shooting of a teenager. More than 100 people attended a candlelight vigil Wednesday night for 16-year-old Kimani "Kiki" Gray just blocks from where he was shot to death by police Saturday night. But anger was palpable as a group of young people heckled police officers in helmets and later marched down a street. The vigil's organizers tried and failed to calm the young people, some of whom later threw bottles at police officers. "I'm not going to tell people don't be angry because we're all angry," said Franclot Graham, whose teenage son, Ramarley Graham, was shot and killed after police chased him into his Bronx home last year. A New York police officer has been charged with manslaughter in the death. "It's OK to vent but you have to respect the family's wishes and be peaceful," he said. Police said late Wednesday that 18 people were arrested and that one officer suffered a gash in the face after he was hit by an object tossed from a building.	From: MGMJNews Views: 0 0 ratings
