Since the fatal shooting of unarmed, black teen Michael Brown at the hands of a local police officer, the town of Ferguson, Missouri, has erupted in unrest as citizens have taken to the streets in outrage for more than three days.

Police have fired tear gas at protesters and the Federal Aviation Administrationbanned flight travel under 3,000 feet in the airspace over the town to "provide a safe environment for law enforcement activities" from Aug. 12 to Aug. 18. This news coupled with these powerful images from the St. Louis suburb paint a troubling picture that the town is being treated like a war zone.
