New Ferguson Police Chief - Olivia Browne Period 6

The city of Ferguson, Missouri, swore in Delrish Moss as its first African-American police chief on Monday. A longtime veteran of the Miami Police Department, Moss was selected from 54 applicants to fill the role. He is expected to help rebuild the Ferguson Police Department after racially charged protests broke out over the 2014 shooting death of African-American teenager Michael Brown by a white police officer. Moss said Monday the task before the department was to bring "nobility" back to police work. "If you work hard, if you stay honest and committed, if you maintain respect for the community and do your job well, we will get along just fine," he said, addressing the police officers in attendance. Moss may be new to the department, but the problems he faces are not. He'll be tasked with healing a fractured community in the spotlight. He'll have to navigate a mostly white police department in charge of a majority black city

Analysis: The Author is Faith Karimi and she appears to be a non-bias party. This article was created on May 8th, right after the incident had taken place, adding to the urgency. I had no prior knowledge of this event. The Audience is the concerned American public and this story has a positive effect on them. The reason for writing this article was to educate the American public on these occurrences. This directly relates to the segregation of the army and the entire civil rights movement of the 1960's.
