Ferguson

The photos below feature some of the most unique signs I've seen across the media.

FERGUSON, MO - AUGUST 19:  Demonstrators protest the killing of teenager Michael Brown on August 19, 2014 in Ferguson, Missouri. Brown was shot and killed by a Ferguson police officer on August 9. Despite the Brown family's continued call for peaceful demonstrations, violent protests have erupted nearly every night in Ferguson since his death.  (Photo by Scott Olson/Getty Images)
There will never be any peace if we don't stop the violence.

FERGUSON, MO - AUGUST 14:  Demonstrators protest the shooting death of teenager Michael Brown on August 14, 2014 in Ferguson, Missouri. Brown was shot and killed by a Ferguson police officer on August 9. Police in Ferguson have changed their procedure for dealing with the protests after being chastised for a heavy-handed approach which has resulted in four days of violence. Today three police cars and four officers on foot led the way during a protest march.
What happens if we find out Mike was the guilty one?

The attention Ferguson is getting on the media.
 
 
I think that these photos could all be arranged in a circle. Without people protesting, there would be nothing for the media to report on. Once the protestors see they are getting the attention they want, they will continue to protest with the hopes of being featured on TV, the Internet, and other forms of social media. It's a chain, and until someone breaks it by ending the violence, it's going to continue going.
