Über den Autor
Thomas Jackson is the former Police Chief of Ferguson, Missouri, who oversaw many years of progress in his community until Michael Brown's tragic shooting death. He stepped down in March 2015 but continues to be sought by the media to discuss not only Ferguson, but also officers' and victims' rights, police procedures, and the rash of violence by and against police. Jackson lives in Ferguson, MO.
