This Saturday, a police officer that was on patrol was shot in the arm in Ferguson, Missouri, the town where Michael Brown was killed August 9th. The officer said he was alone doing a business check at a community center, where he found a 'male subject' near the building. When he went to go question the unknown person, the man started shooting. The officer shot back, but there is no indication that he hit the unknown man. The Ferguson police officer's wounds are not life-threatening, and he was later taken to the hospital.
Hours later, gunmen fired at a car that was driven by a St. Louis officer that was currently off-duty. The gunmen passed the officer on the left, where they were currently driving on a highway, and shot his vehicle multiple times. The officer was not hit, but suffered from minor injuries.

Do you think that these two shootings were related? Could they have been an affect on the Michael Brown shooting two months ago?

Good job once again!
Yes because the fire is still burning between the protesters and cops
I would think so because there are still protests and a lot of things going on in Ferguson right now
Yes I do. People may feel justice has not been served. People might be still angry and have mix feelings.
It could have been something to get back at the police officers of Ferguson. I bet that this officer was innocent, and the person who shot him was acting out.
I agree that the shootings were an affect on the Michael Brown shooting, and its a shame that innocent officers are getting shot at
All of this is connected to the Micheal Brown case, the people still are angry at the police
I think people in Ferguson Missouri still feel that justice wasn't server . that probably why all the the violence is still going on,
Yes people are still upset about the Michael Brown shooting and some people think that things like a shooting are going to make a difference on what is going on
I think it was probably some guy that heard about the Michael Brown case and thought it would be smart to shoot some cops.
