Oswaldo Peters · Answer 1

A white police officer fatally shot an unarmed black youth during an unrecorded altercation.

Explanation:

A widespread civil unrest occurred in Ferguson, Missouri when a white policer officer who was identified as Darren Wilson shot Michael Brown who was in the company of his friend, Dorian Johnson. The white officer claimed to have acted in self defense but Dorian Johnson contradicted his claim. She said he was unarmed and this led to an unrest in the region in 2014 which would later result in the death of some protesters who believed it was because he was a black American.

The officer was later tried and wasn't convicted of murder by the jury because the supposed evidences showed he truly acted in self defense.
