"Burn, baby burn"

As some in the crowd chant "burn, baby burn," protester Joshua Williams, 18, (left) proudly holds one of several burning American flags during a night of protesting the killing of unarmed black teenager Michael Brown Jr. by a white police officer back in August. It has been 61 days since Brown's death and protesters continue to protest to end stop racial profiling and reform policing in African- African communities. Several black citizens in the crowd were commenting how they do not have same opportunities as whites in the United States.
