100 FBI Agents Are Headed to Ferguson

The FBI is sending roughly 100 agents to Ferguson, Missouri, according to multiple news reports, to deal with any problems that may arise after the grand jury decision on whether Officer Darren Wilson will be charged in Michael Brown‘s shooting.

Mere days after Brown was fatally shot and protests erupted in Ferguson, the FBI opened its own investigation into the shooting, and just days ago the bureau warned of violence from extremists when the grand jury hands down its decision.

The community is bracing for the verdict with a state of emergency declared and some schools closing next week.
