Where is the Logic?

  This is a video of Michael Brown laying in the street after he was shot several times by Darren Wilson.  The point of interest is around 6:28 where you can hear a witness describe the events that collaborate the officer's story.

     I have never experienced tragedy to this magnitude before in my life.  Are we as a society so truly backwards that we react before know all the facts?  I believe that we were once a great nation of logical thinking people but something has happened to us when emotion takes hold.  This is the second case where race of an individual has been brought to the forefront.  Where do we look for guidance?  I remember a time when all Americans could look towards the President and knew that no matter the party affiliation there was a trust that the people held.  Yes, we are a republic and we should always look towards ourselves first.  There were times as I grew up that we did look within, but also knew that the President spoke for all of us.  As a people we voted for our leader, although we may or may not have liked the out come we came together.  For example, the 2000, election George W. Bush became President under scandal, but when 9/11 showed the nation that we were vulnerable he stepped up to the plate and showed us that we will not be cowards.  Where is the President now?  The people of Ferguson, Missouri need a good word, a pat on the back or the President to show that he is up for the good fight.  A friend of mine reminded me that people are murdered everyday.  Why is this so special?  It could be because the emotion and tension of the town were already so high.  I just wonder if this isn't a distraction for something bigger.  What are we missing as a nation?  Have we lost God? 
     We are a nation built on the basic freedoms that we all share.  The first of which we probably hold most dear Freedom of Religion and Freedom of Speech.  This is where our country began and we are loosing.  We are loosing because we as a people put our emotion before all else.  It is time to put our faith first.  Of course, we all worship differently but the faith and hope that this land is different from all others is the common ground for all of Americans.  We are Americans!  We are the hope that this nation will one day be great again. We as a people can come together as one to be Free.
