Ferguson residents claim frequent racial, civil rights injustice with police; Holder tries to appease unrest over Michael Brown shooting
The fatal shooting of 18 year-old black teenager Michael Brown by a white police officer might have been just another headline if not for the color of their skin. On the other hand, it also put the police of Ferguson, Missouri in the spotlight, questioning their policies on handling potential suspects. Citing a slew of accounts by Ferguson residents, CNN reported that the community echoed only one thing: civil rights injustice is still alive in this part of town.
