Ferguson Fury and Fire (1)


Despite calls from Attorney General for Peaceful Protest as Hallmark for Change, Ferguson, Missouri erupted in violence and destruction upon hearing the court ruling on Monday evening, November 24th 2014.  The ruling was on the following fateful incident:
Michael Brown, an unarmed black teenager, was shot dead on August 9 by Darren Wilson, a white police officer. Some witnesses say the teenager assaulted the officer at the outset and tried to grab his gun; other witnesses say Wilson was the aggressor. All accounts agree that Brown ran and then turned back ... but to attack or surrender?
Reference: What happened when Michael Brown met Officer Darren Wilson.

It isn't just law enforcement; some communities do not trust local government and court rulings, either.
