A tree that was dedicated to the memory of Ferguson teenager Michael Brown Jr., who was killed by a cop, was vandalized just one day after it was planted. According to officials, the tree, which was located at January-Wabash Park, was chopped down and the plaque at the foot of the tree was removed. The tree and plaque were donated by the Black Caucus of the American Library Association. Another tree that was planted in honor of a Ferguson resident’s dead pet was also damaged. Both trees were re-planted and the plaque is slated to be replaced this week. Read more.

A California county has settled with a man whose violent encounter with police officials was caught on camera.
