Streets of Ferguson Maintain Calm

The streets of Ferguson, Missouri were quiet over the weekend, as Saturday marked the fourth night of calm for the St. Louis suburb following nearly two weeks of unrest, sparked by the shooting death of an unarmed black teenager by a white police officer.

The death of 18-year-old Michael Brown by Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson two weeks ago sparked tense protests on the streets of Ferguson, where authorities arrested dozens in nightly clashes with demonstrators.

America's top law enforcement official, US Attorney General Eric Holder, is leading a federal investigation into the shooting.

Meanwhile as the Brown family prepares to attend a funeral for their son on Monday, Missouri's Governor Jay Nixon spoke to America's CNN about the investigation. He said cooperation between federal and state officials is key and pushed for transparency.
