years ago

09 August 2014,

White American police shot Michael Brown, an 18-year-old African-American young man in the city of Ferguson. When the jury decided not to charge the police, the city's blacks began protests and there were many incidents for several days in many parts of the United States. The case became the symbol of police violence against blacks.
