The St. Louis County PD reports that two officers were shot amidst protests in Ferguson, MO early Thursday morning. One officer was shot in the face, the other in the shoulder, and both are reported in serious condition. Police Chief Thomas Jackson resigned Wednesday in the wake of leaked emails that revealed police officers using racist language just months after the murder of Michael Brown and days after a federal probe into the case and non-indictment.
