Protesters march in the street as lightning flashes in the distance in Ferguson, Mo., Aug. 20, 2014, following the shooting of Michael Brown, an unarmed Black teen, in the St. Louis suburb on Aug. 9. On Tuesday, Jan. 3, 2024, a St. Louis-based public interest law firm announced that the city of Florissant, Mo., will pay nearly $3 million to settle a so-called debtor's prison lawsuit that accused Florissant and six other St. Louis suburbs of violating the constitutional rights of residents by jailing them and forcing them to pay fines and fees amounting to millions of dollars. Florissant was among several St. Louis County cities whose policing and court practices fell under scrutiny after the fatal police shooting of Brown. (AP Photo/Jeff Roberson, File)
