The unrest sparked a vigorous debate in the United States about the relationship between law enforcement officers and African Americans, the militarization of the police, and the use of force doctrine in Missouri and nationwide. Continued activism expanded the issues to include modern-day debtors prisons, for-profit policing, and school segregration. As the details of the original shooting event emerged, police established curfews and deployed riot squads to maintain order. Along with peaceful protests, there was looting and violent unrest in the vicinity of the original shooting. According to media reports, there was police militarization when dealing with protests in Ferguson.〔〔 The unrest continued on November 24, 2014, after a grand jury did not indict Officer Wilson. It briefly continued again on the one-year anniversary of Brown's shooting. In response to the shooting and subsequent unrest, the U.S. Department of Justice conducted an investigation into the policing practices of the Ferguson Police Department (FPD).〔 In March 2015, the U.S. Justice Department announced that they had determined that the FPD had engaged in misconduct against the citizenry of Ferguson by among other things discriminating against African-Americans and applying racial stereotypes, in a "pattern or practice of unlawful conduct."〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2015/03/04/us/ferguson-police-department-report.html )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/04/us/justice-department-finds-pattern-of-police-bias-and-excessive-force-in-ferguson.html )〕 ==Background== (詳細はFerguson police officer.〔〔〔 Brown was a suspect in a robbery committed minutes before the shooting. There was a widely circulated video allegedly showing Brown grabbing and repeatedly threatening a store clerk before leaving the store holding merchandise he had not paid for.〔 After several months of deliberation, a grand jury decided not to indict Officer Wilson for any criminal charges in relation to the incident.〔 The police response to the shooting was heavily criticized, as was the slow rate of information making its way out to the public. Police were also accused of wrongfully releasing footage of the video allegedly showing Brown robbing the store and assaulting the store clerk in a purported effort to poison public opinion against Brown. Many of the documents received and reviewed by the Grand Jury were released when the grand jury declined to indict Officer Wilson.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ferguson unrest」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
