CHICAGO Danny Green Raptors Jersey , Aug. 19 (Xinhua) -- Another black teenager was killed in the United States on Wednesday, 10 days after the first anniversary of death of Michael Brown, which caused massive protests in the country.


The police officers in St. Louis, which hit the headlines for its suburb Ferguson where Brown was killed, said the young man they fatally shot had pointed a gun at them.


They later identified the victim as Mansur Ball-Bey, aged 18.


However, later searches found no trace of any weapon at the crime-ridden area stormed by the police.


St. Louis police chief Sam Dotson said the gun the "suspect" pointed at them was "stolen", adding that cocaine was discovered at the scene.


"Detectives were looking for guns, looking for violent felons, looking for people that have been committing the crimes in the neighborhood," he said.


The St. Louis area in Missouri had just been flooded by protesters from across the United States marking the first anniversary of the Aug. 9 killing of unarmed black teenager Michael Brown by a white police officer.


The fresh shooting falls exactly upon the anniversary of not as famous police shooting of another black man in St. Louis, Kajieme Powell.


This has been the second killing of African-Americans by U.S. police in a single month. In the latest of such cases, Christian Taylor, a 19-year-old black college football player, was fatally shot by an officer during a burglary call on Aug. 7 in the northern Texas city of Arlington.


Only a month ago, the tragic death of a black woman in a U.S. prison caught media attention in and out of the country.


Sandra Bland, 28, was stopped by a white Texas trooper for failing to signal a lane change. On a charge of assaulting a public servant, Bland was put into a Texas jail, where she was found hanging with a plastic trash bag around her neck on July 13.


The high frequency of African-American deaths at the hands of policemen has questioned the human rights conditions in the United States.


The country has violated the economic and legal rights of its citizens to an alarming degree, the CATO Institute said in a latest report.


According to the Washington-based think tank's recently published Human Rights Index, the United States' ranking fell from the 17th place in 2008 to the 20th in 2012, declining in indicators of rule of law and economic freedom, among others.


"The U.S. performance is worrisome and shows the United States can no longer claim to be the leading bastion of liberty in the world," said Ian Vasquez, co-author of the report.

MANILA, May 24 (Xinhua) -- Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte warned on Wednesday that he is considering placing the entire country under martial law, saying the militants might continue to sow more terror not only in southern Philippines but also in other parts of the country.


Duterte declared on Tuesday night martial law for 60 days on the island of Mindanao and nearby island provinces of Basilan, Sulu and Tawi-Tawi after clashes between the army and militants with alleged links to Islamic State (ISIS) in Marawi, provincial city of Lanao del Sur on the island of Mindanao in southern Philippines.


Duterte made the declaration while on an official visit to Russia, which he was forced to cut short after the Marawi City violence broke out around Tuesday afternoon.


At a news conference shortly after arriving from Russia, Duterte said that he is considering expanding the scope of martial rule to nearby Visayas region and even the entire country, including the main Luzon island.


"If I think that the ISIS has already taken foothold also in Luzon, and terrorism is not really far behind, I might declare martial law throughout the country to protect the people," Duterte said.


"I may decide to expand the area to include Visayas because it is a walking distance actually," Duterte said, referring to the proximity of the Visayas region to Mindanao.


He added he might also decide to suspend the writ of habeas corpus in the Visayas. "Remember that this is not intended for the law-abiding citizens. We are the least of your worries," he said.


Visayas region is a group of island provinces in the central Philippines, just above Mindanao Island in the southern Philippines.


Duterte said he is eyeing imposing a curfew in certain areas in Mindanao, including Lanao del Sur, Lanao del Norte, Maguindanao, Sultan Kudarat, North Cotabao and maybe in Zamboanga City. He said he will decide after the cabinet meeting later Wednesday.


"I will not hesitate to do everything to protect and preserve the Filipino people," Duterte said.


Meantime, the government said thousands of Marawi residents have fled to avoid the conflict. At least 800 of those who evacuated are now staying in the provincial capital.


Some reportedly fled to nearby Iligan City and towns. A local official said at least four villages are now affected by the violence.


Duterte said there is compelling reason to declare martial law in Mindanao group of islands, saying the series of terrorist acts committed by the Maute group continued and resulted in the deaths of many people including policemen and soldiers.


Military spokesman Col. Edgard Arevalo said that five army soldiers and two police officers have so far been killed and at least 33 soldiers wounded in the ongoing sporadic fighting. He said 13 Maute members have also been killed.


Duterte said these atrocities continued even after he placed the Philippines under a state of national emergency in September last year followi.
