A Ferguson, Missouri, police officer, Travis Brown, who sustained critical injuries during a protest marking the 10th anniversary of Michael Brown's death, is displaying small but significant signs of progress in his recovery from a severe brain injury. Brown, 36, has undergone multiple surgeries and procedures to address brain swelling and fluid accumulation since the attack on Friday.
As of Thursday morning, over $78,000 has been donated through a GoFundMe page set up to support Brown and his family. The latest update on the page mentioned that Brown has shown brief signs of improvement, including three coughs and slight movements in his leg and hand. Doctors have also reported encouraging results in his brain activity, although a long and challenging road to recovery lies ahead.
