Riots break out in the streets as fires engulf buses. The Saint Louis airport was shut down temporarily. Protestors have shut down interstate 44, lootings are taking place in tons of stores. Its safe to say that all hell is breaking loose in Ferguson, and the most tragic thing is this is exactly what the parents of Mike Brown are advocating against. Hopefully we can resolve this in a peaceful way, but its incredibly astonishing to think that racism to this extent thrives in places like Ferguson in 2014.
I agree. I know the parents wanted peace. But of course, the police officer had to win. No, we don't know all the information that was mentioned in court, but it seems very obvious as to what the ruling should have been.
ReplyDeleteI think it's just crazy that we are still struggling with racism in our present day. America is taking steps backwards.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Rachel like what is going on? we should be pressing forward with issues like this but no we really are taking so many steps back :(
