Ferguson county in St. Louis began a state of emergency on Monday following protests that turned violent overnight. With the recent drop in threatening events, the county ended the state of emergency on Friday.

Last weekend began a wave of new demonstrations to remember the one-year anniversary of the death of Michael Brown, an 18-year-old armed black man that was shot by a white police officer in August 2014, according to Reuters.

The killing of Brown was found to be justified once all of the specific details were examined from the incident. But following his death was as wave of other unarmed black or Hispanic men being killed by white police officers in Baltimore, New York City, Washington state and other locations across the nation. With a sum of too many, a national movement was inspired over policing and race relations.

The protests in Ferguson started peacefully on Saturday. It was not until late Sunday night that gunfire broke out and an 18-year-old black man, Tyrone Harris, was shot and injured by police, who have reported that the man was shooting at them.

Harris is still in the hospital and has been charged with assault on law enforcement, armed criminal action and shooting a firearm at a vehicle.

Following this, the county was called to be in a state of emergency. The days following the heavy violence Sunday night continued with protests and the arrest of several dozen people on Monday that blockaded a St. Louis court house in an act of civil disobedience as well for blocking a local freeway. Since Wednesday, there have been no further arrests.

“After reviewing the events of the past four evenings, under the state of emergency, I am pleased to report our law enforcement officers have established order while preventing further acts of violence in Ferguson,” St. Louis County Executive Steve Stenger said in a statement.
