FERGUSON POLICE SHOOTING SUSPECT JEFFREY WILLIAMS DIDN'T FIRE GUN: ATTORNEY

By: Billy Jackson

JEFFERY WILLIAMS ACCUSED

A rally for Michael Brown was held on March 15 in Ferguson. Ironically this was a rally against police brutality. Williams took part in this rally and shots were fired and hit two members of the Ferguson police force. He claims that he did not do it. He also makes the statement that two St. Louis county officers, one black and one white, beat him across his head, his back and choked him.

UNIVERSAL IDEAS

Racism Police Brutality Hate Crimes Justice

THINGS TO CONSIDER

Williams was not charged with resisting arrest

The police claim they did not use excessive force

The recent Michael Brown case in the same area, ruled the cop innocent in court, that he did not brutalize the young black man.

PROMPT

Given this situation and various other examples and displays of police and controversial cases lately, defend, refute, or qualify as to whether or not police brutality is a problem.
