the violence in ferguson, Missouri continues, making this the third night of the extravagant protests. More than 400 people have been arrested in the St. Louis suburb, all trying to make a statement for racism and the most recent case of a white man not getting arrested for killing unarmed black teenager. There have been protests in Boston, New York, Los Angeles, Dallas, Atlanta and other cities. Ferguson, the city, has had two nights of rioting, looting and arson with some businesses burned to the ground. Police made 45 arrests in Ferguson in the Tuesday night protests. Tensions between police and black Americans have simmered for decades, with many blacks feeling the U.S. legal system and law enforcement authorities do not treat them fairly. Obama has tried very hard to stay civil and keep a lid on his anger, but he did state deep distrust exists between police and minorities and that "communities of color aren't just making these problems up."
It is very clear the riots will not stop until there is justice. This is one of the many events like this that has happened and this one just happened to be the straw that broke the camels back. People will no longer tolerate the injustice regarding African Americans. It has been like this for all of history, with tension between races in certain places and I don't think anyone should tolerate this anymore. This is another case of history repeating itself.
