Final exam part two. Ferguson

On August 9, Michael Brown, an unarmed black teenager, was shot and killed by officer Darren Wilson. Officer Wilson was not indited for the shooting and it caused an uproar, leading to rioting in the streets. A lot of the reasoning behind the rioting is the believe that this was an attack on the race by police. Whether or not that this is the case can be debated, but not like this. Rioting was a poor decision on their parts. 

There are many other ways to protest or debate this issue and rioting is the exact opposite of what should have been done.

The rioting was not only destroying the city, but also their voice in the matter. 

How can they expect to be listened to when they are breaking the law. 

Destroying homes and business. Destroying others property. 

stealing. arson.

None of this changes anything. not  the stealing, not the fires. 

A voice of reason should have been present, but no one stop to think that maybe this was not the way to go. 

Look at the peaceful walk through Paris in memory of those killed in the shooting.

 

Selma, 

March on Washington 

Peaceful protest and memorials. This is what they should have done instead of rioting if they felt they had to do something.
