This case underscores a disturbing trend of senseless killings of African American men by law enforcement authorities. I hope this tragic situation will begin a broader discussion on race relations and the relationship between our communities and local law enforcement. Although many are angry with this outcome, it is important that protestors exercise their constitutional right to protest peacefully and that law enforcement respect that right. My thoughts and prayers go out to Michael Brown’s family as they mourn the loss of their son and deal with this disappointing decision.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
