No Trial

Tensions ran high Monday as the grand jury came back with "no true bill" or no indictment against Officer Wilson for the shooting of Michael Brown. Pretty much as soon as the decision was read, the violence started. Although people pressed for nonviolent protest no matter the decision, even the President could not stop the violence.

As the President spoke, the split screen showed the violence erupt in Ferguson. In the following hours, protest broke out in many cities across the country. Although there are police officers killed all across the country, such as the officer killed Monday night in Akron, Ohio. Why does one shooting get more media attention than another? I found an article from the Akron Beacon Journal asking the same thing.

As I looked through FOX News today I found a second article that relates to Furgeson. This article shows "How a false media narrative made Ferguson worse."
