US-CRIME-RACE-POLICE-SHOOTING
Retired Philadelphia police Captain Ray Lewis speaks with people on August 21, 2014 in Ferguson, Missouri. Ray Lewis cut an arresting figure in his crisp uniform, dark blue cap -- and a sign demanding "the truth" about the fatal police shooting of an unarmed black youth. Lewis turned heads and got people talking Thursday in his first appearance at the nightly protests that followed the August 9 death of 18-year-old Michael Brown in the St Louis suburb of Ferguson."These people have been exploited and oppressed their entire lives, and now they have their own police department perhaps murdering one of their own," he told AFP around the corner from where Brown was shot."And I came out to show solidarity with them," he said. Lewis, who is white, served 24 years in the Philadelphia police force, most of them in the city's edgy north side, before retiring eight years ago and embracing political activism.
