Protests in St. Louis over the acquittal of a white police officer in the shooting death of a black man turned violent late Friday as demonstrators clashed with riot-gear-clad cops and surrounded the home of the city’s mayor.

In this edition of The Debate, Press TV has conducted an interview with Paul McKinley, an American civil rights activist from Chicago, and senior congressional defense adviser Fredrick Peterson from Richmond to discuss the racial tensions in the United States over the acquittal of a white police officer in the shooting death of a black man.
