On August 9, 2014, Mike Brown was murdered by police officer Darren Wilson. Mike Brown's death set off a national debate about the use of force in policing and way some communities – particularly low-income communities – are frequently the targets of violent, race-based treatment under the guise of law enforcement. The people took to the streets and one year later, resistance continues as communities stand up against racism and intolerance.

You use the word murder for what happened to Mike Brown. If this is so why was no one charged with murder? I will tell you why, he was a criminal and had just committed strong arm robbery and assaulted an officer. Please don't stand up for someone who is a criminal and expect credibility.
