stop rioting

Ferguson Missouri was once a quiet little city located near St. Louis.  Now it is a wreck with buildings smoldering from being caught on fire, people being robbed,  and windows smashed in many business buildings.  All of this happened because people cannot control their selves.  Officer Darren Wilson in August shot and killed 18-year-old Michael Brown.  Yesterday was the trial and the grand jury decided not to indict the police officer.  This is what sparked the rioting with people being outraged of the decision.  Reporters said the scene looked like a war zone, with riot police trying to control the ordeal.
There are other ways of getting your thoughts and words out to people rather than rioting and causing such a ordeal.  Braking windows and robbing stores is not a way of letting people know how you feel about the courts decision.  It only makes you look barbaric and honestly just stupid.  You are ruining other peoples livelihoods by destroying a families business and taking there goods.  To replace a store window is not cheap and to go around throwing rocks at them is just not right.  While police were their trying to control the scene people were throwing rocks and other items at them also.  This is just disrespectful to the people that are trying to protect you and help people in Ferguson that have been injured from all the shenanigans that were going on last night.
