Protesters outraged after police release video allegedly of Michael Brown
Ferguson police identified the officer who killed unarmed teen Michael Brown as 6-year veteran, Darren Wilson. Police also released video Friday they say is of Brown robbing a convenience story before the shooting.
Surveillance video shows the suspected robber shoving the store clerk and stealing a box of cigars.
The police chief later revealed the officer did not stop Brown because he thought Brown was a robbery suspect, but because he was walking in the middle of the street, blocking traffic.
The timing of this revelation has outraged Brown's parents. They claim police are trying to assassinate the character of their son.

Texas Gov. Rick Perry indicted for alleged abuse of power

The two felony counts against Perry, a Republican, stem from his threat to veto funding for a statewide public integrity unit run by Travis County District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg unless she stepped down, the special prosecutor in the case, Michael McCrum, said.
CNN affiliate KVUE reported that Perry will have to report to the Travis County Jail in the capital of Austin to be booked, fingerprinted and have his photo made for a mugshot.
U.S. doctor risks life to fight Ebola
The American doctor infected with Ebola speaks out.
In a statement, Doctor Kent Brantly said: "As my treatment continues in the isolation unit at Emory University Hospital, I am recovering in every way...

They say these numbers "vastly underestimate" the magnitude of the outbreak, which they expect to go on for some time.
But help is on the way. One American doctor is risking her life, traveling to the center of the outbreak to help fight's the spread of this deadly disease.
