  • An 18-year-old African-American, Michael Brown was fatally shot by 28-year-old white policeman, Darren Wilson at Ferguson, Missouri, a suburb of St.Louis County (U.S).

    Brown was a suspect in a robbery case committed minutes before the shooting.

    Wilson identified him on the road and in the altercation that followed shot Brown several times before he died.

    This sparked a vigorous political-racial debate in the U.S.

    The incident created a stir with both non-violent protests as well as vandalism, resulting in riots and night-curfews creating a global debate about racial politics and militarization of police-forces.
