I found a headline and a small piece of an article about Michael Brown. The headline said "Witness: Brown was shot 'like an animal". The article went on to describe what the officers version of events was, and then what a witness had described. This story really intrigued me because I think it is so important for us as Americans to recognize the racial problems that still occur everyday. I thought it was so interesting that one incident like this could cause such a huge uproar in Ferguson. What the officer did was very wrong, whether his side of the story was true or not, he still shot an unarmed man six times. It has never been and will never be necessary to shoot at someone six times in a row to subdue them.
I also found a horoscope for Leo's that said "Struggle. Without it, you would never fully realize your potential." and it made me think about how our struggles shape who we are.
You're right--this is a disturbing situation and I think many would agree with you that such a dramatic and permanent reaction was not necessary.
