Response to Riots in Ferguson

In response to the incident with Micheal brown many of the citizens in Ferguson have broke out in violent riots. They damage property, loot stores, break into fights, and many fires have started as well (many of them were vehicle fires). Also according to nydailynews.com Deandre Joshua  a 20 year old male was shot. It is no longer safe for people to walk on the streets in their home town because of these violent outbreaks. The people of Ferguson have lost sight of what they were originally fighting for, which was what they believed to be an unjust act of racism.
This is also a perfect example that violence only creates more violence, for some these acts of violence are no longer about Micheal Brown, but instead about creating violence and havoc for the sake of creating violence and havoc. People will also follow others, it is just in human nature. In the minds of some, these acts are acceptable because "everyone else is doing it".

If the people of Ferguson are serious about what they want to achieve, then they should use more peaceful actions. Violence will only make things worse, it seems that these people have lost sight of what they were fighting for.
