Ferguson Unrest Reignites After Michael Brown Memorial Burned

A memorial for slain Missouri teen Michael Brown was burned to the ground Tuesday morning, leading to new protests and at least one business broken into.


One of two memorials to slain Ferguson, Missouri, teen Michael Brown was discovered burning early Tuesday morning on the street where he was killed. It was not clear how the fire started.

The site where the unarmed 18-year-old was shot by a police officer and killed has become sacred to many in the weeks following his death and candles have often burned through the night.
