ST. LOUIS, Aug. 28 (UPI) -- Police were "out of control" in their response to demonstrations in Ferguson, Mo., a lawyer said Thursday as he sued the city and St. Louis County.
Malik Z. Shabazz, the president of Black Lawyers for Justice, based in Washington, filed the federal lawsuit seeking $41.5 million on behalf of five protesters arrested between Aug. 10 and Aug. 13. He said he expects more plaintiffs to come forward.
