On March 30, 2015, I was standing in the middle of a main road in a suburban neighborhood looking at handwritten signs on a makeshift memorial. The memorial had assorted stuffed animals, dried flowers, toys, and a box of Frosted Flakes neatly organized in a row along the bright yellow lane divider. One sign caught my attention: “Ferguson PD/GOV America’s SHAME.”
If Magna Carta is a symbol of freedom under the law, this makeshift memorial is a symbol of government’s failure to fairly protect those freedoms in the eyes of its citizens.
