There are so many tragedies here, that it's impossible to even think of them all, let alone list them.

The Browns lost their son. That indeed is a tragedy. But when you look at the reason, I don't see how you can stop at Wilson shooting him. It goes so much deeper than that. Mrs. Brown said they called him a gentle giant. Well, I wonder if the proprietor of the store he just robbed would call him that. I also wonder why at 6'4", 290 lbs and able to walk, run and fight, he felt the need to steal rather than have a job. It goes on and on.

Same for the policeman who hasn't been seen publicly or made a statement publicly since the shooting. He feels he must resign his career because he doesn't think he can be effective as a police officer anymore. Well, he can't, at least not in Ferguson.

A good friend of mine has distant family that live in Ferguson. They have left their home to weather this storm. They are not protesting, but know several folks who are. They also say that "professional protestors" have been brought in from outside to help stir the pot a little. I would imagine, though I don't know, that Al Sharpton has yet another agenda.

I don't know the answer, but a problem clearly exists....a racial problem. I also believe that racism exists in all races. Until people come together in a like mind, and truly search for answers this is only going to get worse. Rather than a beer summit, I would love to see a prayer summit. Where honest people, honestly look for an honest resolve.
