A police officer caught on video threatening to kill peaceful protesters in Ferguson has been suspended indefinitely. Video from Tuesday night shows the officer pointing his semi-automatic assault rifle at protesters and telling them to “go f— yourself.” The officer has been identified as Lt. Ray Albers of the Saint Ann police. Meanwhile, an Al Jazeera America team reports another police officer in Kinloch, Missouri, which is next to Ferguson, ordered them to leave an area where they were shooting video footage, and threatened to “bust your head.” At the time, they were on a public street. We’ll have more on Ferguson after headlines.
