Final Exam: Question 2- Ferguson

On August 9, an 18 year old black male, Michael Brown was shot and killed by white Officer Darren Wilson. The Grand Jury decided that Wilson would not go to court. This caused riots and people started destroying their own community. Why? Why are they burning their own buildings? What does that do for them? Nothing. It doesn't help them what so ever. It only makes the situation worse. I don't understand why this is such a big deal. 

Most importantly though, I don't understand why they are doing this. They are looting and burning their own stores and buildings. They are just creating more chaos. The thing is, stuff like what happened to Michael Brown and other shootings where a person is killed is and the shooter gets away or not charged happens all the time. Why are people making such a big deal over this one and select others? 

It's race. A WHITE police officer shot and killed a BLACK unarmed 18 year old. Nothing as big at what happened in Ferguson would have happened if it was any other race, not even close.

Is there a group that is underrepresented? I believe the police officers are. They put their lives on the line for us to protect us every day. And what thanks do they get for it? This.
