The City of
Ferguson Missouri a Suburb of St. Louis Along With the Rest Of the
Nation Is In Outrage Over The Shooting of Michael Brown
On
August 9, 2014 in the City of Ferguson Missouri another armed African
American teen was shot to death by a Caucasian Police Officer, Darren
Wilson, 28. When I first heard of this shooting, the first thing that
came to mind was they got another one. I also said the police officer
Darren Wilson, was going to get away with it. On November 24, 2014
the Grand Jury decided not to indict Darren Wilson. That was not
anything new, it was just another African American. This has been
going on for hundreds of years and it will continue as long as we
have this prejudice legal system. Yes, I said it the legal system is
so prejudice against people of color it is outrageous! After the
verdict was read protester in the streets expressed how they felt and
it was nothing nice. The protesters in Ferguson Missouri torn the
streets up burned down buildings, now they are under a curfew. In
Oakland California protesters shut down streets and a freeway. New
York City had riots after the verdict was announced. Boston also had
protesters voicing the outrage. This was not just one race fueling
their indignation it was people of all races. What we can do as a
people, is to keep voicing our disgrace for injustice and just maybe
the legal system will change.
