Ferguson Police Chief Resigns

Ferguson Police Chief Tom Jackson has announced his resignation. Since unarmed black teen Michael Brown was shot dead by a white police officer last August in Ferguson, Missouri, Jackson has been under fire. Numerous calls for his resignation over the past months have highlighted the racism displayed by the city's police force. In a televised statement, Jackson expressed regrets to the Brown family for the loss of their son and the length of time that Michael was left lying in the street. teleSUR
