Local and national civil rights leaders are condemning the shootings of two police officers in Ferguson, Missouri.


John Gaskin III, a St. Louis community activist, says the "disgraceful and cowardly" attack was conducted by outside agitators who were intent on hijacking attention from protests that he says have produced meaningful reforms.
Gaskin says activists "cannot afford these kinds of incidents happening, because that gets us absolutely nowhere."
One officer was shot in his face, the other in his shoulder, early Thursday morning during a protest outside Ferguson police headquarters following the resignation of the city's police chief. Both officers are hospitalized.

Burried further down in the article:

Ferguson Police Chief Thomas Jackson was the sixth employee to resign or be fired after a Justice Department report last week cleared Wilson of civil rights charges in the shooting. Wilson has also resigned. A separate Justice Department report released the same day found a profit-driven court system and widespread racial bias in the city police department.

But not before he received his rewards : Mayor James Knowles III announced Wednesday that the city had reached a mutual separation agreement with Jackson that will pay him one year of his nearly $96,000 annual salary and health coverage.
