Ferguson.....

       I keep seeing the words "justice was not served." Regarding this Ferguson tragedy. I also keep seeing the race card being thrown around which is ridiculous because this has nothing to do with race. 
      For one, this case was taken to a grand jury which was made up of nine blacks and three whites. Over 2000 cases have gone to the grand jury this year and only eleven had the result of no indictment. The evidence of this case relied heavily on the testimony of the witnesses, in which most of the witnesses said the saw Micheal Brown charge at/attack Darren Wilson. That alone is enough to not indict him, He reacted not only as a human but as a police officer on duty. Yes, I believe six shots was a little excessive but one also could of killed him as well. To think justice was not served in this case is outrageous due to the fact if it had gone the other way with the same evidence, everyone would of been glad with the outcome...
      The fact that no one will ever no what happened besides the officers and the victim that were involved. All the outbursts and riots that are going on are not going to do anything to the decision. The people don't understand that the officer had to do what he had to do not only to protect himself, but to protect others. Yes, it looks bad due to the fact it was a young black minor with a white officer, it can't be a reason on why the officer made his choice in everyone's eye's. The loss that the family has received and everything that they are going through shouldn't involve the whole community in my opinion making things worse for everyone and putting more unnecessary violence.
