Ferguson unrest

The Ferguson unrest refers to a series of protests and riots in Ferguson, Missouri, that erupted in August 2014 after police officer Darren Wilson fatally shot Michael Brown, an unarmed black teenager. The incident sparked national outrage over issues of police brutality, systemic racism, and social injustice. Protests in Ferguson drew attention to broader concerns regarding the treatment of African Americans by law enforcement. In the aftermath, the event led to discussions about police reform, racial profiling, and the need for better community-police relations across the United States.
