Ferguson Verdict

As many of you know the Ferguson verdict was released today. The verdict ruled that no further action, or indictment would be made against the police officers that were involved in the shooting death of 18 year old Michael Brown. This verdict has left many African Americans perturbed and upset, but as of yet the protest currently being done have been only peaceful. I think this peaceful take towards direct action shows a particularly new face to the civil rights moment and is almost reminiscent of the direct action tactics read about in Guha; the activists do not want to cause any more pain through violence rather they want to convey their message through other mediums like blockades and tactics that hurt other areas of society not just other citizens.

In my book was the verdict correct? I think from all the surfaced details the court made the honest decision. Yes, the decision has left the civil rights movement and the African American population furious and disheartened, but the details supported the cops in this situation. The courts are their to administer the truth/justice and I support their decision in this case.

    Jeremy, I would be interested to know why you think they made the right decision? I have not yet had the time to read up on the full details of the case and how they came to that decision so I cannot in good faith argue against you. However, I would like to know why you think they came to that choice and what arguments you have as to why they shouldn’t have taken it to trial. I understand that he punched the cop in the face and then ran away but the fact that he was shot TWELVE times and clearly the death bullet through his head hit him on the way going down seems a bit ridiculous to me.

      I think in the ferguson case, the courts made the right decision because their was not enough credible evidence to indict the police officer. Yes, it is unfortunate that Michael Brown died in such an unconventional way and that police officers should be trying to protect lives than take them, yet the evidence was not there to support a controversial decision on the indictment. This has upset many people, but I think if they indicted the cop in this situation their would have been just as much of a backlash due to the lack of evidence.
