IN THE DAYS THAT FOLLOWED, THE POLICE RESPONDED TO THE DEMONSTRATIONS WITH MASSIVE FORCE. >> It's an uprising. We are tired of the police. >> We're sick of being tear-gassed. We're sick of being shot at. All of these young people deserve respect and justice >> Force is their message. We will shoot, we will kill, if necessary. >> AN AUTOPSY WOULD SHOW THAT BROWN WAS SHOT AT LEAST SIX TIMES - TWICE IN THE HEAD. HE WAS THE FOURTH UNARMED BLACK MAN TO BE KILLED IN THE UNITED STATES BY POLICE IN THE SPAN OF A MONTH... THE STREET PROTESTS AND POLICE TACTICS BROUGHT FERGUSON INTO THE NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL SPOTLIGHT. THINGS QUICKLY SPIRALED - REPORTS OF GUNSHOTS FIRED FROM THE CROWD, A STATE OF EMERGENCY WAS DECLARED, THE NATIONAL GUARD WAS DEPLOYED, AND THE US ATTORNEY GENERAL LAUNCHED A FEDERAL INVESTIGATION INTO THE KILLING. FAULT LINES WAS IN FERGUSON TO WITNESS HOW MICHAEL BROWN'S KILLING IGNITED SOMETHING BIGGER, EXPOSING TENSIONS THAT HAD BEEN BUBBLING BENEATH THE SURFACE FOR YEARS. >> On his knees. Hands up. >> This is more than Michael Brown. This is about civilians against law enforcement. Corrupt law enforcement.
