Many have heard about the Ferguson tragedy in Missouri, but does anyone really know the truth other than Michael Brown a young teen preparing to go to college and the officer who killed him with 6 shots? What was going through his head, to kill a teen with such force? Without proper evidence, the prosecutor's cannot charge the officer with murder with excessive force, because many believe he was just doing his job. However, a lot more believe it was much more than that.
Was this considered a racist crime in the 21st Century with racism years behind us? So many questions left unanswered and the truth hidden. Slogans like "Black teen killed By white Officer" stand out the most to me , but why do some chose to ignore such vicious acts? As I sit back and watch I see two cultures , some with two completely different opinions about the event. Most of the African American Culture and some of the Caucasian culture that believes Young Michael was trying to surrender when killed , And Most of the Caucasian culture and some of the African American culture as well that believe Michael was about to attack the officer and the officer was doing what he thought was necessary to stop Michael to protect himself. The stereotypes of the African American culture only to get worse. In Missouri, the violent riots and protests only getting worse with citizens there demanding justice , but will and when they ever get it?
