Ferguson Part Two



On Monday December 1, 2014 the grand jury in Ferguson, Missouri declined to indict police officer Daren Wilson in the fatal shooting of Michael brown. If someone wants to take another individual to court for any reason it must first go through a grand jury. A grand jury is a jury comprised of 23 jurors who decides whether or not a case is legitimate to go to trial. The evidence in the case concerning the killing of Michael Brown was in my opinion obviously clear that it was justified. You do not attack a cop under any circumstances. The people rioting are not a good way to solve racist crime if they think that’s what it is. They want to get justice by causing injustice themselves. I saw a picture on twitter of the man who Michael Brown robbed, and his store was one of the many stores that was looted and devastated by the rioting in Ferguson. That man did not deserve his store to be destroyed and robbed again because of people disagree strongly with an outcome of a case. I think if the case would have made it to the grand jury and then loss in court I think maybe the people would have accepted it more. In the peoples mind they’re attempt at justice is not even being tried so that’s why they are blowing up. In my opinion rioting over something like this stupid and doesn’t solve anything it just helps people get out they’re rage and anger for the killing of Michael Brown. Saying that, I still 100% agree with the decision made by the grand jury that Daren Wilson is innocent and he was doing his job.

  1. Alright. Decent blog. I'd like to know what you think of moving forward on this case or scanning the events again and see who is right or wrong. Expand past the present XD Not bad. Do you happen to have any opinions on how Obama handled the situation?

  2. "They're or their?" This was throwing me off, hard to follow you when the grammar is questionable. This is a decent blog but not you're (your?) best work.
