Ferguson Protests (2014)
Following the fatal shooting of Michael Brown on August 9, 2014, protests and civil disorder broke out the next day in the city of Ferguson, in the U.S. state of Missouri, and the protests lasted for over 2 weeks. As the details of the original shooting event emerged from investigators, police established curfews and deployed riot squads to maintain order, while members of the Ferguson community demonstrated peacefully. Looting by a number of people caused violent unrest in the vicinity of the original shooting. Widespread media coverage examined the post-9/11 trend of Police militarization, especially when dealing with protests.
