Examples of ferguson in a Sentence
On the streets of Ferguson, it was totally organic, we were outraged, we were frustrated, and upset, we were angry. It was very emotional and intense, and the hurt, you know, fueled us to want to do more.
It's not to say that Ferguson did not anger us, but there's definitely something different about this moment, especially because it is an election year, we're grappling with the soul of this country this year.
With the patterns and practice investigation, I would hope that the Ferguson Police Department would be dissolved and the duties and responsibilities of policing Ferguson would be turned over to the St. Louis County police, they are working toward being a more diverse police force, St. Louis County is.
