Ferguson Shooting

Ferguson Shooting

It seems as though every other day tragedy strikes in Ferguson.  Wether its riots or criminal actions in this case the Ferguson community was taking part in a peaceful riot.  This was no big deal for the police to handle, the citizens were simply exercising their right constituted in the first amendment.   But out of no where, the seemingly peaceful protest quickly went down hill.  Muzzle flashes were seen about 120 yards away, soon after two officers were shot down one of which being 41-year-old Country officer, and other being 32-year-old officer from Webster Groves.  After being rushed to the hospital the police began their search for the perpetrators.  Although they have not yet located the shooters, the search is on.   This connects to AP Gov because most of the people in Ferguson were utilizing their freedom of speech as well as their freedom of assembly which is stated in the constitution.  Personally, I think there is way to much unnessesary violence running rampent through Ferguson.
