A few protests/events that went on in 2014

The story of the Tony Robinson shooting is uncomfortably familiar, and highlights many of the continued tensions around American race relations. Mostglaring is the repeated targeting of black people by police — something we’ve seen before, with cases like that of Eric Garner in Staten Island, New York; John Crawford III in Beavercreek, Ohio; Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri; Ezell Ford in Los Angeles and others.
The similarities linking all the incidents are remarkable — making it all the more interesting to see spokespersons and media working so hard to reassure us that Madison will not be another Ferguson. And CNN aren’t the only ones doing so.
