The United States Justice Department has just recently decided to close the investigation involving Michael Brown's death and clear the police officer, Darren Wilson's charges. The FBI investigation found no evidence against Darren Wilson and the Justice department has made no comment about this. I find it interesting that the Justice Department has declined comment.
I think everyone is going to have different reactions and opinions about this decision. The case itself has led to so many protests in Ferguson. A lot of people overreacted to this case because they believed that Wilson shot Brown due to his race. Some think that cops should not abuse their power in these terrible ways. I believe that the police should be protecting people, not harming them, especially when they're innocent.

I agree that police should be protecting people instead of harming them. But I don't think people overreacted. The protests weren't just about this one case. They were about years of systematic oppression and racism that needs to end.
