Brown on CNN: Ferguson "is what absolute power looks like"
For many Americans, Ferguson is the latest reminder that our criminal justice system doesn't treat blacks and whites the same, and that young black men in particular are often killed with impunity, CNN's Ray Sanchez writes. It started when police officials left Michael Brown's body in the street for four hours. "The nicest thing you can say is that it's the most insensitive thing we've seen in a long time," said Emory Law Professor Dorothy Brown. "The other extreme is, this was done deliberately. It's sending a signal. We don't want anybody challenging the status quo. Here is a body as a reminder."
