Police have released the mugshots of alleged looters arrested during demonstrations and rioting in Ferguson, Mo., following the shooting death by a police officer of teenager Michael Brown. The name of the police officer involved has not been released for his or her protection, which has many outraged.

Police are releasing mugshots and names of looters, but not of the officer who killed #MikeBrown.

Mugshots of the looters are now available to us by the media while the police officer who committed MURDER remains unnamed.
