A Deal Reached Between Ferguson, Missouri, and Justice Department
Big changes coming to Ferguson, Missouri after reaching a deal with the Justice Department.
FOX’s Jill Nado reports from Washington:
In the wake of the killing of unarmed black teenager Michael Brown by a white Ferguson police officer, the Justice Department and the city have made a deal.
The settlement means the city will provide diversity training for police, hire staff to analyze use of force records and all officers and jail workers will be outfitted with body cameras.
The city is expected to shell out about $2 million to comply, but if this arrangement hadn’t been made, the city could have been in a legal battle for years to come with the Justice Department.
Ferguson was the focus of weeks of violence in 2014.
