Ferguson, Missouri has been ground zero of a renewed debate about race and strong-armed law enforcement in America since the August 9 fatal shooting in broad daylight of 18-year-old Michael Brown by a white police officer. Protests and the events that followed have triggered mixed emotions in the US and abroad. US National Guard troops have been deployed to Ferguson to help control the unrest, amid criticism of the distrusted local force’s handling of the protests, with even President Barack Obama saying there was no excuse for local police to use “excessive force.” What are the issues at stake? Huffington Post has compiled documentaries that try to make sense of the events.
