What's also clear is that a small minority of individuals are not. Well, I understand the passions and the anger that arise over the death of Michael Brown. Giving into that anger by alluding or carrying guns and even attacking the police only deserves to raise tensions and start chaos. It undermines rather than advancing justice.
