The chief of police for the US city of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, has dismissed suggestions that more police training could ease tensions in disadvantaged African American communities.

It comes after a state of emergency was brought into force in the US city of Ferguson, Missouri, amid protests marking the anniversary of the death of black teenager Michael Brown.

Chief Ed Flynn said that in Milwaukee's impoverished neighbourhoods residents were not living "in fear" of the police, but of young men with "violent backgrounds" and "access to the best firearms on earth".

"This country has delegated the problems of poverty and disadvantage to the criminal justice system and now [it is] shocked to find there are racial disparities in that system", he said.
