New York City Church Gets Behind Ferguson Protesters

Tensions continue to flare in Ferguson after the killing of an unarmed black teenager was shot and killed. Here in the city, people are following the developments there closely, including one woman who grew up in that Missouri town. NY1's Jon Weinstein filed the following report.

For Camille Beckles, that message is personal. She grew up in the St. Louis suburb.
