State of Emergency declared in St. Louis County due to Ferguson unrest
A state of emergency has been declared in St. Louis County amidst Ferguson protests.
A state of emergency has been declared in St. Louis County.
It has been one year since Michael Brown was shot and killed by officer Darren Wilson in which many still declare an unjust killing.
The community held peaceful protests to mark the anniversary of Brown’s death. Unfortunately, some of the protests have turned violent as police shot an 18-year-old man who authorities say shot at police officers first.
After which point, some of the protests quickly turned into chaos. Amidst the protests, a state of emergency was declared in St. Louis County today, effective immediately, in light of the unrest in Ferguson, Missouri, authorities said.
“The recent acts of violence will not be tolerated in a community that has worked so tirelessly over the last year to rebuild and become stronger,” St. Louis County Executive Steve Stenger said in a statement. “The time and investment in Ferguson and Dellwood will not be destroyed by a few that wish to violate the rights of others.”
