In Ferguson Missouri on August 9th a black 18 year old boy was shot by Darren Wilson, a white police officer who later wasn’t charged. Many people across the United States broke out into riots but mostly right in the town of Ferguson. The people shouted disrespectful words towards the police as they were smashing cars and cruisers. The officers filled the air with noxious gas and CNN reporters swore they were tear gassed but the police denied it.
I agree with the people that have been in the riots, but I don’t believe what they are doing is helping them get their point across. If they want to protest than they should be doing it in an orderly fashion. Too many people will/are getting hurt with the ignorant things that these people are doing. Yes, we may not know the whole entire story about what happened between Darren Wilson and Michael Brown but within the past year it seems as though there has been a lot racial discrimination. This includes the disagreement with the charges against the white man beating Trayvon Martin to death. Also the death of Eric Garner who was suspected of selling illegal drugs on July 17th and was put in a chokehold allowing him not to breathe, he died that day. I think that juries and police officers should think about their actions before they go through with them, because all they have done is make it seem like its okay for white people to beat up African Americans.
