Position VLog on the Ferguson case: how social media could put the power of our justice system at risk



Ever since the Ferguson protests have started, I have been intrigued by the role that social media has played in escalating the situation. It appears that everyone and their dog who sees an opinionated statement on a social media site about the Ferguson situation automatically believes themselves to be experts. I don't claim to be an expert or to know anything about what really did or didn't happen, but I do feel that people need to be aware of the powerful influence that social media can have on political situations. This video was created to express some of my thoughts and feelings on the subject. I only had 1 minute to do it in, so if the logic that I follow is unclear, please comment below with questions and I will get back to you.
