Ferguson: City Appoints First African-American Police Chief 
------------------------------------------------------------


 
In Ferguson, Missouri, officials have appointed the first African
American to head the city's predominantly white force. Andre Anderson, a
24-year veteran of the Glendale, Arizona, police force, will become the
interim Ferguson police chief. The appointment comes four months after a
Justice Department probe found widespread discrimination by Ferguson
police.
