The Unjustified Killing of Michael Brown

In Ferguson, Missouri when an unarmed black teenager Michael Brown was shot and killed by a policeman. He was not dead although they did have a fight. And what Baldwin says is that the truth of this rumor or not is not really the true cause of the riots. The riots were caused by the conditions under which the black residents of Harlem had been living for years. In many ways the police department of Ferguson operated as this marauding ban whose very existence and salaries depended upon their constantly arresting black citizens often for simply the crime of driving law black.
