The news comes less than two weeks after Ferguson, Missouri erupted in flames when a grand jury there failed to indict a white police officer Darren Wilson in the shooting death of 18-year-old Michael Brown.
All of this has once again raised questions about the state of the relationship between law enforcement and the African American community. It has also sparked outrage. Across the country protestors have taken to the streets to have their voices heard.

The problem black people have today, is they continue to use racism as a crutch and excuse for everything that doesn't go well for them. Perhaps if you guys rallied about police brutality rather than trying to make everything about racism, then perhaps people might pay attention to you.
Its very sad that the media also chooses to hype this type of BS by trying to justify racism from blacks as if there is only racism from whites.
Now I agee that the police used excessive force in this situation but it was not racism that caused it, but bad training and the cop mentally that they can do whatever they want.
Quit blaming shit on racism and start focusing on the real problem.. By always claiming racism it shows that you are the racist because you can't see past the color of anyone skin that isn't black.
