A protest agains't the police department in Durham, North Carolina turns violent.
And who could blame them as this story is just unreal!

A vigil for a teen who died in police custody turned violent in Durham, North Carolina, with riot police using tear gas and batons to disperse the crowd.
At least six people were arrested at the Thursday night march to protest the death of 17-year-old Jesus Huerta, according to police.
"I could not be more proud of the restraint and professionalism demonstrated by our officers," Durham Police Chief Jose Lopez said in a statement to the media, adding that injuries to those marching were minimized because of his officers' actions.
"There was a march. The peaceful intent did not exist. We used the best practices in law enforcement," he said at a news conference Friday.
The chief said at the news conference that gunshot residue tests were conducted on Huerta and the arresting officer, and the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation "found that Huerta was wearing gloves and that his gloves had a saturation of gunshot residue on it. Officer Duncan's revealed that he had no gunshot residue on his hands," Lopez said.

Somehow the police are expecting the people of Durham to believe a kid handcuffed (with gloves on
) in the back of a cruiser shot himself to death with a shotgun that wasn't the cops.
I wonder if one could find DNA(skin fragments?) on the inside of a glove because lets face it, Duncan or his partner likely had them on when the murdered this kid.
