Re: Riots in Ferguson, Missouri
Honestly people are misconstruing the fact that there wasn't even enough evidence to put the officer to trial. This isn't like the O.J. Simpson trial (where everything says guilty, but their found not guilty). There wasn't even enough evidence. This man had so little evidence against him it wasn't justifiable to have a trial.
As for the whole is racism at part in the decision, I would say no. The only reason why race is an issue is because the media, and people like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are fueling this belief that never would have existed in this case without them.
However...
The only reason this case was ever on the news in the first place is because it was white on black crime. Funny part though, is that Dillon Taylor of Utah (Who was white and hispanic) was killed by a black cop. This situation is the exact opposite of the Trayvon Martin case (Zimmerman was white and Hispanic), yet the national media has said jack shit about it. The media realizes that by making the Michael Brown case popular it will lead to better ratings than the Dillon Taylor case. So they bring in people like Al Sharpton to fuel the fire, create unrest within the affected group of people, and get these said people to tune into their broadcasts on the issue, that never should have been about race in the first place.
If the media was truly unbiased an actual news title would look like this:
"A local cop kills a man" (lol gr8 tile right?)
Anyway, the Ferguson story is a perfect example how the media has everyone wrapped around their fingers. Without the media, I guarantee nobody would be this apeshit over the issue.
