Several protests have been witnessed in the United States over the last week following the death of Michael Brown, 18, who was unarmed but allegedly shot by a police officer 'Darren Wilson' . The case has so far charged to court, and the verdict given seem not to be fair to the masses, as they took to the streets protesting for what they term miscarriage of justice, because many of the people believed that the police officer must be punished in accordance with the weight of the law for the outright murder of Michael.
That was why some protesters spotted the St. Louis Galleria Mall on Friday, November, 28 to disrupt the 'Black Friday Shopping' after they gathered in front of the mall, lying on its floor for about 4 and half minutes, to fully symbolize the duration of time Michael Brown lied on the street after the shot by the Police Officer.
While in the Oakland in Southern California, protesters were spotted on the street as some of them purportedly tied themselves to the train at Bay Area Rapid Transit station, calling for non-indictment of the police officer by the court.
Meanwhile, New York City, San Francisco, and Seattle Washington were not left out, as several people were seen protesting in the streets as against the ruling by the court, calling it a judgment based on prejudice, and therefore called for a proper justice in the case of the murder of the young teenager. This whole incident made the Black friday shopping to be disrupted .
Many of the protesters believed the judgement by Ferguson was very unfair, and they stated that it is instituted on racial and status discrimination.
Do you quite agree to this or you have another opinion as to why the officer must be not be indicted in the murder case? Well, send in your comments on this issue.
