The Kind of Violence That Took Place in Ferguson In the Ferguson’s case, the kind of violence that took place was a combination of both primitive and Reactive violence. His can be described from two angles or approaches of the case. One angle is the violence perpetrated by the police through the shooting of a black protester, Brown. The other angle of looking at the violence is the manner at which the protesters reacted to the shooting. In addition, the riots became more tragic after the Aug. 9 shooting. At this point, the violence turned from reactive type to a very primitive kind of violence. While the first riot was peaceful demonstration aimed at stopping the rampant racial discrimination especially in the local justice system, the second was more primitive. A primitive type of violence is signified by primitive behavior which includes destruction of property, looting among other unconventional behaviors (Tilly 68). In this type of violence, the protesters engage in seemingly uncivilized behaviors. In the reactive type of violence, protesters are driven by a desire to achieve a goal and mostly anger. The first violence was reactive since the protesters were seeking to stop the racial injustices and discrepancies while the second riot was a combination of the primitive and reactive violence. Combination of values that best explains what happened What happened in Ferguson was an expression of liberal values. The public were free expressing their views on national matters that were of great concern to them. At the same time, conservative values are depicted by the action that led to death of a black young protester (Vadum par. 19). The fact that the shooter was a white policeman show conservative values in the police forces. This is a clear indication of racial intolerance. Was it about breaking the rules? The violent was however not all about breaking the rules. There were some very fundamental goals set forth. Racism in this day and age is a very primitive value and it should be addressed very seriously. In addition social injustices perpetrated by the same law enforcement agencies should be stopped and the tendency for perpetrators to get away with it should also be addressed. In nutshell, these protests turned the other way and went out of control (Monti 58). However, the damage caused should not be used to underplay the true reasons why the violence began in the first place. Definitely, the protest was peaceful but different groups reacted differently to it. The police reacted violently to the peaceful demonstrations while the protestors displayed their displeasure in a primitive manner to say the least. Membership and involvement in the riots There were no rules assigned to the membership of the members involved in the violence. The violence was based on a free will and open membership. Anybody who shared the anger and disappointment of the locals was free to join in the riot regardless of their race and age. The people involved in the riots and its organization Apparently, people allege that the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria was responsible for the riots. It is believed that the ISIS is recruiting criminals in Ferguson (Monti 152). However, most of the people that were involved in these riots were the African-American locals. Brown’s friends and family were actively involved in the riot and planning of the events. However, there were
