The morning after a St. Louis County grand jury decided not to indict police officer Darren Wilson in the fatal shooting of Michael Brown, the country awoke Tuesday to learn that about two dozen buildings had burned in Ferguson, Mo., during a chaotic night 周一,圣路易斯县陪审团决定不对迈克尔·布朗枪击案中的开枪警官达伦·威尔森提出指控。第二天早晨,刚刚经历一个混乱之夜的密歇里州弗格森镇在24栋楼被烧的火光中醒来。 The shooting of Brown, who was black and unarmed, by a white police officer on Aug. 9 led to days of protests. Brown's death has raised once again old questions about the relationship between law enforcement and the black community in urban and suburban communities, revealing just how differently whites and blacks see life in the United States. 布朗枪击案发生于8月9号,这位未携带任何武器的黑人青年被一位白人警官射杀,导致了至今一系列的抗议活动。布朗的死又唤起了老生常谈的这个话题:法律实施和城乡黑人团体之间的关系。并暴露了美国对待白人和黑人生命轻贱有多么不同。 Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon (D) declared a state of emergency in Ferguson several days ago, as businesses, schools and residents braced for potentially violent protests, like those that followed the shooting. 密苏里州州长杰伊·尼克松宣称,几天前因为枪击案的发生,商家、学校和居民都为暴力抗议做好了准备,政府即出台了一系列弗格森的紧急应对措施。 |
