What happened to being better than those that wrong you?
And yes, I realize that the US has a huge problem with their treatment of black people and other minorities. They do have a War on Black People Drugs afterall.

There is a tipping point though and those people just can't take it anymore. They clearly believe that Brown was only shot because he was black. Heck even if he was Latino or Asian let alone White he wouldn't have been shot that many times. And then for the prosecutor to just sweep it under the rug. There needs to be a strong reaction.

But that is my opinion.

What other options are there? Peaceful protesting isn't going to get CNN there.
