Ferguson Police Department

Hundreds of first responders escorted Ferguson police officer Travis Brown to Spirit of St. Louis Airport, where he was transported to an out-of-state rehabilitation clinic.

Travis Brown suffered a severe brain injury during a protest Friday night on the 10th anniversary of the 2014 shooting death of Michael Brown.

Footage appears to show Elijah Gantt running directly into Ferguson officer Travis Brown, who falls backward and hits his head. Brown remains in critical condition.

The Friday protest outside Ferguson police headquarters, which was peaceful most of the night, turned violent just before midnight.

A Ferguson officer sustained a severe brain injury after attempting to arrest a protester for property destruction. The peaceful protest turned violent on Friday night on the 10-year anniversary of Michael Brown’s killing.

The hearing comes 10 years after Darren Wilson, a white Ferguson police officer, shot and killed Michael Brown Jr., an unarmed Black 18-year-old, sparking protests and a worldwide movement to save Black lives.

Ferguson Police Chief Troy Doyle says a cultural shift in the department has led to improved recruitment efforts — and greater community trust.

Over 15,000 people in the St. Louis region who were jailed in Ferguson can receive money from a $4.5 million class-action settlement. The City of Ferguson settled a lawsuit filed by ArchCity Defenders in 2015. The suit alleges that the city's courts system jailed people for an inability to pay traffic fines and fees and were kept in horrible conditions.

Wednesday marks the ninth anniversary of Michael Brown Jr.’s killing by a white police officer in Ferguson. Now, local officials and community members are urging residents to elect leaders who will protect Black lives.

Doyle announced he would retire from the county’s police department earlier this month after serving more than 30 years.
