ferguson, missourri

just in case i needed some sufficient proof that the issue of race riots was relevant, riots broke out in the town of ferguson, missouri following the shooting of an unarmed black teenager by a white police officer in what became the biggest race riots case in the u.s. since the rodney king riots in the early 1990's in los angeles.

the two-week-long protests restated underlying racial tensions and longtime inequality in the u.s. as well as brought in international media coverage on the issue of media coverage in such time of racial unrest and the militarization of police forces.

because of the infuriating injustice following this situation - both as the events unfolded and the underlying causes for the shooting and the racial problems so emblematic of the u.s. that brought on the shooting - i was following what many people, particularly commentators on social issues and racial justice, had to say about it.

here are a few samples.
