Ferguson, Missouri Gets 1st Permanent African-American Police Chief
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Ferguson, Missouri, has sworn in its first permanent African-American
police chief. Delrish Moss takes over for Tom Jackson, who resigned
after a scathing Justice Department report found police and courts in
Ferguson routinely engaged in discrimination against African Americans.
The bias came to light after the fatal police shooting of unarmed
African American Michael Brown in 2014.
