A state of emergency has been declared in Ferguson, Missouri after police shot and critically injured an 18-year-old on the first anniversary of the shooting of Michael Brown. A weekend of mostly peaceful demonstrations calling for more police accountability continued Monday on the steps of St. Louis County Courthouse. We’ll get an update on the news out of Ferguson and discuss where the #blacklivesmatter and similar movements against police use of force stand a year after their genesis.
