Law enforcement agencies of the US city of Ferguson, Missouri, will be changed after the city council reached agreement concerning police department and court system.
The Justice Department has filed a case against the city of Ferguson regarding its local justice system. The city, however, is recosidering to revise it following the suit in order to void the case.
The Department of Justice said it is exploring legal action against Ferguson after the City Council approved revisions to a proposed tentative agreement following federal investigations to the city after the shooting of a black teen by local police officer in 2014.
