FERGUSON nike air force 1 foamposite white for sale , United States, Aug. 15 (Xinhua) -- For the second day in a row, Missouri State Police Captain Ronald Johnson walked a stretch of Florissant Avenue in Ferguson, Mo., dominated by protestors.


The situation in local area has been tense since a unarmed black teeanger, Michael Brown nike air force 1 just do it white for sale , was fatally shot by police on Aug. 9, incurring public anger and waves of protests.


Constantly followed by television cameras and photographers, Johnson would occasionally stop to take pictures with admirers, and speak to agitators.


When one man shouted at him with a megaphone, Johnson fought through a crowd of reporters and protesters who talk to him.


"How do you feel about the video the Ferguson Police released today?" the man asked, referring to a surveillance tape reportedly showing Brown stealing from a convenience store shortly before he was shot.


Johnson responded nike air force 1 low womens for sale , "This isn't about that video, this is about when Michael Brown lost his life."


Further down the block, Johnson stopped to talk to a group of men with red bandanas covering their faces. The men were angry that one of Johnson's men had spoken to them disrespectfully. Johnson adopted a diplomatic tone and spoke about the importance of learning how to communicate.


He continued his walk down Ferguson Avenue, surrounded by a horde of journalists as well as protesters cheering for him, who shouted, "Hands up supreme air force 1 low for sale , don't shoot!"


A Xinhua reporter witnessed many people praising Johnson, but the biggest praise came from the Red Bandana men.


"Captain Johnson, man, he's a good dude, yeah, he's just in a bad situation nike air force 1 low off white for sale ," said a man who would only identify himself as Mike Brown. "If he was a firefighter, we'd probably love him to death, but he's the police, so it's the company you keep."


But there was also an air of skepticism, "One of his coworkers came up to me and was disrespectful," he said. "Had no idea that he was talking to a single father with custody of both of his two children nike air force 1 off white for sale , active duty military."


For the first time since the shooting of 18-year-old Brown, the night passed mostly without incident in Ferguson on Thursday. Police fired no tear gas, no rubber bullets, and barely made their presence known.


The calm came in the wake of President Obama appealing for peace on the streets of Ferguson, and Missouri Governor Jay Nixon's removal of St. Louis County Police from command, and the installation of the State Highway Patrol.

German Chancellor and leader of German Christian Democratic Union (CDU) Angela Merkel (C) shakes hands with leader of German Social Democratic Party (SPD) Martin Schulz (R) after a joint press conference at the headquarters of SPD rocafella air force 1 for sale , in Berlin, Germany, on Jan. 12, 2018.

BERLIN, Jan. 17 (Xinhua) -- German Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU) on Wednesday ruled out further political concessions in the preliminary coalition agreement between the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), Christian Social Union (CSU) and German Social Democrats (SPD).


"The cornerstones of this policy paper cannot be renegotiated nike air force 1 swoosh pack for sale ," Merkel told the press here. At most, it was possible to "finalize" some of its legislative points, she added.


The chancellor's public intervention came in response to heated debate within the SPD over whether to proceed with the formation of a new "grand coalition" and related calls for changes to joint proposals formulated by the parties involved so far.


While both CDU and CSU leadership has recommended moving to the last stage of negotiations in the formation of a new German government, SPD leader Martin Schulz must still obtain approval from his party base to join what would become Merkel's fourth ruling cabinet at a specially-convened conference on Sunday.


SPD's youth organization in particular has voiced its opposition and warned that another five years as junior partner in a government with the CDU and CSU would further diminish the party's future electoral fortunes.


Speaking to public broadcaster SWR, Johanna Uekermann, member of the SPD leadership committee nike air force 1 upstep white for sale , expressed skepticism towards joining a "grand coalition" and argued that the CDUCSU should have offered more concessions.


Several other senior party figures, including SPD vice president Ralf Stegner joined Uekermann in demanding re-negotiations. However, Merkel echoed earlier responses from CDU and CSU politicians on Wednesday by rebuffing such calls.


The CDU leader emphasized that the two conservative sister parties had already made "heavy concessions" during the talks which culminated in the preliminary agreement. Merkel said that a good foundation for a new government had been established in previous negotiations and expressed her hope that the SPD would hence arrive at a "responsible decision" at its upcoming party conference.


Falling short of meaningful changes to the existing 61-page document, German media drew attention to the inclusion of a formal re-assessment of the work and validity of the "grand coalition" after two years in office as potentially allying concerns within the SPD.


Describing the process as a "mid-term evaluation", Schulz told media Redaktionsnetzwerk Deutschland that the SPD would hereby obtain the chance to communicate the legislative results which it was happy with, as well as necessary improvements.


Negotiators for the CDU nike air force 1 upstep black for sale , CSU and SPD have agreed to a "stock-taking" exercise halfway through the new government's term. The clause has been seen as reflecting the relatively low levels of support commanded by a new "grand coalition" among the German electorate (53.5 percent).


Nevertheless, it remains unclear whether the SPD would actually exit office again in the event that it should take an unfavorable view of progress after two years.


In the near-term, Schulz has continued to tour throughout Germany in attempt to drum up support among his fellow.
