The Michael Brown Case

John Brown's actions at Pottawatomie Creek and Harper's Ferry can be seen as acts of terrorism by a person or peoples opinion, but a closer study of modern and historic violent actions show he was a freedom fighter. Certainly, this is factual because there is no actual definition of terrorism, it is simply an opinion on someone's actions. Therefore, it is almost irrelevant for one be convicted a terrorist if no one can actually have a justified reasoning behind their choices.

On August 9, 2014 a white male police officer named Darren Wilson fatally shot an African-American male named Michael Brown to death in Ferguson, MO. An investigation was immediately launched through the collection of evidence from the crime scene, an autopsy of Michael Brown’s body, and interviews with witnesses. For several months following the shooting and after the Grand Jury met, there was immense public speculation over whether Officer Wilson justifiably shot in self-defense or in racially motivated cold blooded murder. The ballistic evidence collected from the crime scene and from the autopsy corroborated Wilson’s story that he was justified in what transpired that fateful afternoon.

Michael Brown and Eric Garner cases are examples of federalism-civil rights debate and government-sanctioned discriminatory treatment

The point of this paper is to tell you about segregation with Brown vs. The Board of Education. The case is not just one simple case it is five different complex cases. Also you’re going to learn about the case that was the starting point of stopping segregation.

Zimmerman. Martin. Who really started it? One person died, while another walked free. Who should have been punished? We may never know all the answers to this culture-defining case, but here are the facts as they currently stand:

On August 9th 2014 in Ferguson Missouri a suburb north of Saint Louis, 18-year-old Michael Brown was fatally shot by police officer Darren Wilson after allegedly robbing a convenience store. The initial dispute over the circumstances surrounding Brown’s death resulted in tensions and civil unrest in a predominately African American city, where a police officer had just fatally shot an unarmed African American teenager. A grand jury chose not to indict Wilson leading to his exoneration of any criminal wrongdoing by the United States Justice Department. These events received large-scale media attention and drew protesters from across the country, resulting in intense debate about the relationship between law enforcement and civilians, with special attention being given to what consists as an appropriate use of force.

How has the outlook of the police changed over the last five years? Well there has been very many controversial cases where citizens have ended up dead. Are these officers really cold blooded killers? Or are the citizens the ones at fault here?

It is unfair to be biased and quick to misjudge minorities in America based on the actions of others who fall under the same ethnic or religious background. However these misjudgments occur countless times every day resulting in either physical or verbal abuse against these minorities, as well as encouraging stereotypical views. As odd as it may seem, many members of the police force target these minorities simply because they are not of the same race, gender, or religion. To be more specific African Americans, Muslims, and women are being abused both physically and mentally by intolerant individuals and the police force. Although in some cases an arrest is necessary, the excessive use of force against a person is not and is considered inhumane. Justice is still being sought for the people who have been mistreated and their stories will not be forgotten.

The Case of Emmett Till Discrimination has been a problem in America since before we were a country. The murder of Emmett Till one of the first racial hate murders that took the nation and had helped them open their eyes to see what was truly happening around them. Emmett Till was just a young boy visiting some family who had suffered from an act of racism. Due to the large amount of publicity about the horrific death of young Emmett Till it caused a spark in the Civil Rights Movement. The murder of a young African American boy caused by an act of racism caused the black community to rise together and demand justice for Emmett and to be treated equally.

I do know all this and I read about it when the DOJ report came out. It was stocking to me, but the outcome could have been different. I think Michael Brown should have been arrest for his crime. The problem I have is the fact the Darren Wilson had to use his gun first. What do you learn at the academy because it is so easy to use a gun. Do police officer carry tasers and I wish he would have use the taser.I do understand why, but it show why the black community do not trust or like the police. It does not matter that Darren Wilson was right. The black community only see the white officer shooting a black person. This is a big problem in the black community. The black community is not upset if there were a arrest. They are upset because the

The Brown vs. Board of Education of Topeka Supreme Court case of 1952, was not just one single case, but five different cases from; Delaware, District of Columbia, Virginia, South Carolina, and Kansas, all of which challenging the constitutionality of racial segregation in public schools. The main issue in the case was the confusion of the 14th amendment and if segregation fell under the idea of equal protections. Before the Brown vs. Board of Education was brought to the Supreme Court, there were a series of cases brought to the courts by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). These cases confronted the issue of segregation within the school systems. These cases did not bring on the results of the Brown vs.

From time to time, the lynching of the blacks has never been cleared. Below is the case that clearly shows the insufficient reason why this young teenager was killed. An article “Timeline: Michael Brown shooting in Ferguson, Mo.”, from the “USA Today” news describes the death of Michael Brown, an eighteen year old teenager who was shot by a police officer. Brown was shot after the robbery case had happened in a convenience store.

Martin Luther King Jr.’s written works serve as a bridge that joins past and present day America, allowing citizens today to better understand the full magnitude of the civil rights movement. American citizens today are able to look back on his written works and feel the same raw connection, sorrow, and fire as thousands of citizens in the 1960s. Not only do his works unite two distinguishable time periods, but they are used in education systems as well. King expertly utilizes numerous rhetorical devices within his literary works that effectively communicate his message and create an emotional connection with his audience. From the “I have a dream” speech to his letter from Birmingham City Jail, students study and analyze his allusions, imperative statements, metaphors, and anaphoras, to better

Narrative is a form of writing used by writers to convey their experiences to an audience. James Baldwin is a renowned author for bringing his experience to literature. He grew up Harlem in the 1940’s and 1950’s, a crucial point in history for America due to the escalading conflict between people of different races marked by the race riots of Harlem and Detroit. This environment that Baldwin grew up in inspires and influences him to write the narrative “Notes of a Native Son,” which is based on his experience with racism and the Jim-Crow Laws. The narrative is about his father and his influence on Baldwin’s life, which he analyzes and compares to his own experiences. When Baldwin comes into

After the horrendous shooting of Michael Brown by an officer in Ferguson, Missouri a petition was sent to the White House that looks into equipping officers with body cameras on the line of duty. Since the Michael Brown petition exceeded a hundred thousand signatures the Obama administration was obligated to respond to the social issue (“#BlackLifesMatter” 1). By observing officers' encounters with citizens, we’ll be able to determine objective evidence of a situation. Mistreating, framing, or racial profiling towards individuals who are of different descent is an obstruction of justice. The proposal has rapidly gained popularity through social media, but the topic is more complex and complicated than society realizes. Many Individuals are
