MIKE B

On August 9,2014 , The world was sent in to a tailspin when an unarmed black teen named Mike Brown was shot seven or eight times and was shot at 12 times by Darren Wilson, a white Ferguson police officer. This started riots in Ferguson, Missouri and all over the United States of America. Darren Wilson was not indicted for shooting .This also brought up the age old question, “Does police/society care about black lives.” Maybe the first time this question was with Rodney King, an American construction worker who became nationally known after being beaten by Los Angeles Police Department officers following a high-speed car chase on March 3, 1991.This vicious attacks was recorded by a local witness in sent into KTLA. Like the Mike Brown, this sparked riots around Los Angeles and all around America. But unlike the Mike Brown case the four officers was charged with assault with a deadly weapon and excessive force. Another case is the case of Oscar Grant, who shot in the back while handcuffed by a BART police officer. Like the first two case it started riots all over America but like the Mike Brown case the officer was not indicted .
