"Hands up, Don't shoot"

Another unarmed teenage man was killed by police. victim's name is Michael Brown. The shooting occurred around noon at the Canfield Green Apartment Complex in St. Louis. He was set to attend college on Monday. Witnesses are saying Brown threw up his arms to show he was surrendering but officer shot him anyway. 

When is it ever going to end? Police officers are supposed to be here to "protect and serve" us...not make us be afraid of our every move we make fearing we may be a victim of similar situations. when is "enough", enough?

When the George Zimmerman vs state of Florida case opened (Trayvon Martin), I personally got very emotionally involved with the whole situation and I followed and kept up with the whole trial. Because of the "stand your ground law" in Florida, Zimmerman was found not guilty and I personally and strongly believed justice was not served. 

This Michael Brown case is not the first time something like this has occurred....and sadly but definitely truly, I don't think that it will be the last. 

The officer who shot and killed Brown is currently on paid leave...HE IS GETTING PAID WHILE MICHAEL BROWN's FAMILY ARE SUFFERING FROM A LOSS. 

When will this stop? 

Tell us your take on this incident and others that are like it
