Due to militarization of US thugs, [ Ferguson looks like Iraq ]( http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/aug/15/ferguson-iraq-politicans-missouri-highway-patrol ) . For US blacks, being killed by thugs is not unusual, and being harassed by thugs is an [ everyday occurrence ]( http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/aug/15/michael-brown-ferguson-america-racism ) . However, while racial profiling is unfair, that's not the central issue here. It's a fact that the people killed by thugs for no reason tend to belong to certain minority groups, but that's not what makes these killings wrong. The killing of Michael Brown would have been equally wrong if he were of some other ethnic group. The unjustified violence of thugs, exacerbated by their militarization, is the central issue.
