the shot heard around the world

Almost every news station states has the same thing going on around the clock; Ferguson. This is where officer Darren Wilson shot Mike Brown. There are many different viewpoints on the matter. Some say the officer shot Mike Brown without the presence of a struggle while others say there was a clear struggle and the officer was defending himself. Riots have ensued and the entire country has been thrown into turmoil. Police officers, whose job was already extremely difficult and dangerous, has become exponentially harder. Whatever lack of unity we had as a country is officially non-existent. The United States has focused too much on foreign events and neglected its people. We are all in need of something that would bring us together and not break us apart. We are in a vicious cycle like the civilizations before us and we are headed for  a collision course. The country is crumbling from inside out and abandoning our pride is the only way we can solve it
