Since the shooting of Mike Brown by officer Darren Wilson massive riots and calls for justice have sprung from the largely African American populated Ferguson, Missouri. Many believe this is just another account of white supremacy in the police force of America victimizing black people for being black, even more see Mike Brown now as a martyr as he has died for their cause of diminishing the divide of race some say that is still very present in modern times. Unfortunately all this has caused has been massive riots we see on T.V. burning houses, destroying squad cars and ruining small business owned by either white or black business men who have been guilty of nothing but their location.
This has now proved that it is almost impossible for police officers to do their job, with rioters and the media targeting the police force by damaging their reputation for shooting someone that posed a serious threat to the people around him. They have been forced to use strict force to break up the looters damaging their position even more, it has meant that Ferguson police force is damned if they damned if they don't. There is nothing they can do which fill restore faith in the justice system as this time.
It also seems strange that protesters/looters have taken Mike Brown for the face of their campaign as unlike other shootings which have been proved to based on race e.g. this man is guilty for the crimes he committed, it is clearly seen on surveillance footage, by autopsy reports and eye witnesses. It seems they have chosen a violent man to represent a very violent protest.
