Ferguson City Manager removed from post

Ferguson City Manager John Shaw has been removed from his post following the release of a scathing Justice Department report that reveals systemic racism in the Ferguson Police Department. The report has already prompted a series of resignations in the city in the last two weeks, including those of two police officers, a municipal judge and a court clerk. The investigation conducted by the Justice Department was conducted after local, national and international protests lambasted police violence after the police murder of young Michael Brown last August in Ferguson, Missouri.
