The community of Ferguson, Missouri will never be the same after the

riots that took place on Monday night.

This was in response to the grand jurys decision to not indict officer

Darren Wilson for murder when he shot and killed Michael Brown on August

9 th .

Video VO (vo)

The grand jury believed that Wilson had to use lethal force in self-

defense. Since then, Ferguson and cities across the country have taken to the

streets in protest. Dan Hutchinson, a student at Kean University, gave his

thoughts on the results.

SOT # 1

I saw it coming. Weve seen this happen so many times before. Its abiased system and I really hate to say it that way because Im proud to be an

American, but at the same time, I think we are messed up as a people, as a

government. It just goes to show that we will never be a society that isnt a

little bit racist at the very least and this is just proof of that to the core.

Video VO (vo)

Yet throughout all the chaos, some people believe that the rightdecision was made. Barbara Buonvicino, a Green Brook resident, explains

why.

I have to side with the grand jury because I really believe that the

police officer was challenged, and I believe that the police officer did not

want to fatally hurt that person. But it was all circumstance, and I dont know

if that person was trying to do the right thing.

O/C (live)

Many people have taken sides on what has surely been the most

talked about issue in America today. No one knows how long the unrest is going to

last, but judging by the increased number protests, it doesnt look like its stopping

anytime soon.
