ferguson police

A police officer in Ferguson, Missouri, has been relieved of duty after pointing his gun at a civilian and yelling “I will f—ing kill you” during ongoing riots sparked by the police shooting of African-American teenager Michael Brown.

Two separate videos taken during protests on Tuesday night show an officer from the nearby town of St Ann pointing an assault rifle at a group of people.

After one protester tells the officer that his hands are up, the officer shouts “I will f—ing kill you, get back.”

A man in the crowd then asks the officer to identify himself, at which point he was told to “go f— himself”.
