ferguson is burning, make sure the lighting is good

the sad, dragged out event that was the michael brown killing and inevitable non-indictment of officer wilson has come to pass. there was madness in the streets, justifiable anger, misplaced. if you are so mad, why burn down your neighborhood? isn't that what the power structure WANTS to see? to be able to say "look at these brown monsters, they destroy their surroundings blindly". there were many issues with this from the get go. for his body to be out for hours not totally explained is still a mystery, one done on purpose to enrage and divide. the missed bullets are as important as the hit shots. 4 hours speaking to a grand jury is not fair when the other guy can't tell his side of the story because he's...... this was expected to go this way, it did, and now people are reacting. it is a sad state of affairs. and yes it is sad for officer wilson. he is either thrown into a mess by choices spiraling out of control, or it was an act of malevolence. either way, it's a mess. who knows what the future will have in store for him. all this from 2 people walking in the street. his theft of cigars (?!) I don't even think played into this. it was told to me that officer wilson didn't even know about that, he just pulled over to tell them to get out of the road, then chaos. for reasons we will never know, he had his gun out, and said mr brown ran at him, then being shot to death. to charge a police officer with a gun drawn is death by cop. if he shot him for any other reason, it was murder. either way, the news love these grey area race stories where the victim has issues, there is an iffy choice of actions and you are left with a great conversational argument between the different races in the u.s. no clear story. there are more things to discuss, clearer injustices. to focus on these stories just helps create more of the mental instability of the public mind which has been splitting apart since about the 80s.
