Officer shot in area around troubled U.S. city of Ferguson
(Reuters) - A police officer was shot on Saturday in the area around the strife-hit U.S. city of Ferguson, Missouri, but his injuries were not life-threatening, the Missouri Department of Public Safety said.
"A search is under way for the suspect in the shooting of the officer," it said, adding the incident took place at a community center slightly removed from main protest areas.
Missouri broadcaster KSDK said the officer was shot in the arm.
Ferguson, a St. Louis suburb, saw days of racially charged protests after black teenager Michael Brown was shot dead by white police officer Darren Wilson on Aug. 9.
On Thursday, Ferguson police chief Tom Jackson issued a video apology to Brown's parents following weeks of heavy criticism and calls for his ouster.
The apology was not well-received among some and led to reported protests hours after it was issued.
There have been bursts of violence during weeks of protests in Ferguson, a mostly black community of 21,000, since Brown's death. Many have called for Jackson to be fired for what they saw as a heavy-handed response in the aftermath of the killing.

I still don't by the way. If you're on the ground and putting in work, then all props are given, but that doesn't change the fact that there are strategies in warfare. It doesn't have shyt to do with being "peaceful" and everything to do with being efficient and effective. You can be violent all day, that doesn't mean you're gonna win. Y'all better smarten the fukk up. These motherfukkers have battled nation-states, Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia, the likes of Al Qaeda and ISIS, etc. You're not about to bring anything they ain't already ready for, this route.
