Riots continue in Ferguson, Missouri following the Grand Jury decision not to indict Police Officer Darren Wilson for the death of Michael Brown. The officer will not face trail for fatally shooting the unarmed 18-year-old African American teenager earlier this year. Critics of the decision says the issue is deeper than race and points to police brutality and prejudice against the poor in the US justice system.
