I was seven years old when the Michael Brown was murdered by a cop. I will never forget watching the news that morning when the story came on about an 18-year-old African-American young man who had been shot with his hands up by a Caucasian American cop on August 9th, 2014 in Ferguson Missouri. I barely understood what had happened but , all I could do was cry and ask my mother why does this happen so often to innocent people that look like me?
