密苏里州弗格森提名黑人担任警局临时主管
Authorities in Ferguson, Missouri have named, a black police commander from Arizona as the new interim chief to lead the city's police department.
密苏里州弗格森政府提名来自亚利桑那州的一位黑人警长作为新的临时主管来领导该市的警察局。
Andre Anderson will serve in the interim post for six-months, starting from today.
"I am going to need your help. I am asking members of the community to assist me because we cannot do this without you. I believe that together we can forge better relationships and we can incorporate procedural and constitutional justice training. As well as de-escalation training and bias-awareness training."
The police department in Ferguson is where white police officer Darren Wilson fatally shot Michael Brown, an unarmed 18-year-old black man, last August.
A grand jury's decision last November not to charge Wilson in Brown's death led to great anger among black citizens, and protests in many U.S. cities.
