"To the extraordinary circumstances involved in this case and at the request of the Brown family, Attorney General Holder has instructed Justice Department officials to arrange for an additional autopsy to be performed by a federal medical examiner,” Justice Department Spokesman Brian Fallon said in a statement released Sunday. “This independent examination will take place as soon as possible. Even after it is complete, Justice Department officials still plan to take the state-performed autopsy into account in the course of their investigation.”
As violence ensued, the state of Missouri instated a curfew to get people off the streets. With the use of smoke, tear gas and ‘non – lethal weapons’, police enforced this curfew with little regard for the people protesting peacefully among the violence. Chris Dwight a freelance photographer who attends George Mason University in Fairfax Virginia, told me about his brief stint in Ferguson overseeing the protesting taking place in the city. Dwight explained how rather than protesting, some citizens are vandalizing locally owned businesses further bringing despair to their own community. He went on to say that, he wouldn't call these people “protesters” but rioters using Michael Browns death as an excuse to cause violent uproars within their city. As our brief interview ended Dwight was avid about his support for the more peaceful protests, stating it was the only way to truly bring justice to Michael Brown and the people of Ferguson.
In the video below, Vice News an independent online based news stations shows the uproar of the people of Ferguson and the violence taking place in search of answers of too why Michael Brown was shot dead in their streets.
