Ferguson is a city in St. Louis County in the American state of Missouri and part of the metropolitan area of Greater St. Louis.
History
Ferguson had its start in 1855 when William B. Ferguson deeded 10 acres (4.0 ha) of land to the Wabash Railroad in exchange for a new depot and naming rights. The settlement that sprang up around the depot was called Ferguson Station. Ferguson was incorporated as a city in 1894.
Ferguson - What is happening in Ferguson, feels like déjà vu: The death of a Afro American teenager outraged the United States, there are demonstrations throughout the country. A debate on gun control rages, even President Barack Obama turns on.
All this is only two years ago.
On 26 February 2012, the 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was shot in Florida.

R.I.P...We Will Never Forget You!!!
He was on his way home, had bought in a shop sweets and iced tea. The shooter George Zimmerman, a neighborhood watchman, relied on self-defense in court that he had feared for his life in the fight with Martin. Zimmerman was acquitted.
Now a racism debate is again raging in the United States. After the death of Michael Brown protest in the town of Ferguson in Missouri Black against police violence.
The cases are not identical. Martin was shot by a private citizen, Brown died by the bullets of a policeman. In Martin, the protests and demonstrations were peaceful, this time they beat in violence around - now the National Guard to pacify Ferguson.

** Michael Brown **
On Friday August 9, 2014, unarmed 18-year-old African-American male,
Michael Brown, was fatally shot by Darren Wilson, a Caucasian Ferguson police officer. The incident sparked protests and acts of vandalism in the St. Louis suburb as well as national calls for an investigation into the incident. On August 11, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) opened a parallel civil rights investigation into the incident, and Attorney General Eric Holder instructed the Justice Department staff to monitor the developments.
On August 10, after a day of vigils, local police stations assembled approximately 150 officers in riot gear.
Some of the crowd then began looting businesses, vandalizing vehicles
and confronting police who sought to block off access to several areas
of the city. The following day, police fired tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse a crowd at a QuikTrip
convenience store that had been burnt out the night before. According
to reports, gunshots were fired in Ferguson and five were arrested.
On August 14, Missouri Governor Jay Nixon stated that the Ferguson riots were "deeply challenging" and promised "operational shifts" to ease the situation, using the Missouri State Highway Patrol to direct security.
On Monday August 19, National Guard troops arrived in Ferguson at the request of Governor Nixon, who also ended the midnight to 5 a.m. curfews.
However, some street violence continued to occur although most
protesters were peaceful and at one point even organized a human chain
to block agitators who had thrown bottles at police. In another area, objects were thrown at police who responded with tear gas.
Also on Monday, Brown's family and Dr. Michael Baden, a former New York
City medical examiner who examined Michael's body on Sunday, released
findings which showed Brown had been shot at least six times to the
front of his body and that the fatal shot was fired into the top of his
head and exited from the front, suggesting that the 6'4" Brown was not
standing, running, or walking when the shot was fired.
"I Have No More Words"
Just
"WHY !!!"
And Tears.
