Shot Heard Around the World

The shooting and killing of Michael Brown, 18 year-old African American boy, sparked a riot heard around the world. There were riots all over the country because of this. Many people felt that what officer Darren Wilson wasn't justified enough. Officer Wilson said he was responding to a call about a robbery when he seen Brown and friends walking down the middle of the street. A confrontation caused an argument and Mike attacked the Officer. Wilson said he fought for his life. However, many thought that this was a racial matter, because two years prior, Trayvon Martin was an innocent 17 year-old black male who was fatally shot and killed. Everyone from your average Joe to famous NBA players like LeBron James had a voice of opinion about this, simply because it was the start of a domino effect. Like I said, before this, it was Trayvon, but it didn't stop there. Kids were being shot, overweight males are being choked to death, pregnant women are being shot in the eye; all because we believe we have corrupted law enforcers. I'm not saying that we don't, but the nation is becoming a place where we have no faith or trust in police officers, state troopers, lawyers, anything. This is causing the nation to spiral out of control. I feel like those who believe in the same thing as I, are being underrepresented because everyone is too busy disagreeing, that they can't agree. In order to change the nation, we have to put our differences aside to come together.
