Give an opinion BASED on facts and understanding of the situation in the USA regarding the situation in Ferguson and the wider implications.
Review the case and write a case report. You can start with the same information as before, but you will need to add to it. Use the following questions to guide your research.
1. What are the facts?
2. Use a time line to explain what happened.

8. What is the viewpoint shown in the press?
9. Why did the rioting occur?
10. How does this effect policing in the community/district/State/country?
11. How does the case of Eric Garner fit into the story?
12. Why am I asking you to look into a non-Emirati story?
You will be expected to write a CLEAR, LOGICAL understanding of the Ferguson situation AND relate the incident to a wider understanding.
There is no minimum or maximum word length. You will be graded according to HCT criteria. If you want an A grade, your work must be Outstanding. To achieve this, I need to see clear, well written work. It must be organized well, edited well, your own words, the ideas presented individually and clearly. There must be an introduction, body and conclusion. You must include references to support your work.
