FERGUSON, Mo. (AP) -- A year ago, Ferguson, Missouri, was a mostly quiet working-class suburban town. The uneasy relationship between its growing black population and its mostly white police force barely registered in local headlines.

“Everything changed on Aug. 9, 2014, when a white police officer named Darren Wilson shot and killed Michael Brown, an unarmed black 18-year-old.”
To add both detail and context left out by the Associated Propaganda writer:
“Everything changed on Aug. 9, 2014, when a white police officer named Darren Wilson, in self defense, shot and killed a black thug named Michael Brown who was attacking the officer after having committed strong arm robbery.”

“...mecca for white hipsters...”
Spawning place for future conservatives? (Since a conservative is a liberal who’s been mugged ). :-)
