A police officer brutally shot Michael Brown on a street
in Ferguson, Missouri, on his hands
in the air to show he was unarmed. When the officer opened fire, authorities
counter that Brown attacked the officer in his car and tried to take his gun. The
St. Louis suburb of 21,000 was wracked by violence as protesters outraged over
the 18 year old shooting faced off with police. Although there were reports
that some demonstrations were peaceful -- protesters held up their hands, as
Brown reportedly did, and others demanded a fair inquiry, chanting, "No justice, No peace”. There were also reports of
fires, looting, vandalism and attacks on police officers. In my opinion in
lower-class neighborhood, they should be trying to bring justice and peace to
make a safer community. Shooting now-a-days is the highest crime rate in the
United States especially in lower-class community’s. I feel that everyone that
is taking pictures are that are into “no justice no peace”. Federal civil
rights investigators and the FBI carry out their own inquiry into the case. Tensions
are running high in Ferguson, where there's a history of distrust between the
predominately black community and the largely white police force. In my opinion
because of all of the black crime back in the day and the past, African
Americans are going to feel threatened by white people, especially police
officers because it all go back to racial province. According to reporters they
state that, “Brown was African-American. Police have not identified
the shooter, but a witness told CNN on Tuesday that the officer who opened fire
is a Caucasian male.” They also state that “The dispute
between distraught Ferguson residents and police isn't likely to be settled
soon.” I feel that It needs to be settled just so the community know
that they are safe and that don’t have to worry about getting shot unharmed. The story itself has been torn up in so many
ways. I pray the blessing on Ferguson and that the crime stops and everything
gets settled with the case so those can be at peace.Wednesday, August 20, 2014
