Week 5 Discussion

 

The prodromal stage is defined as the warning or pre-crisis stage.   The DOJ identified a number of issues or concerns that were present in  Ferguson leading up to the death of Michael Brown. 

  • Having the benefit of the DOJ report, as a newly appointed police  chief in Ferguson, what steps would you take to rebuild the trust  between the police and the community?   
  • Should the police chief and citys elected leadership have recognized these issues or concerns in advance of the riots?
