Disgusted public takes to Twitter after shooting of unarmed St. Louis black teenager

Following the shooting this afternoon of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, a public that has grown tired of unarmed African-Americans being gunned down, either by police or citizens 'standing their ground,' took to Twitter to express their dismay at what seems to be an escalating trend.

Under the hashtag #Ferguson

A young life gone supposedly over "stolen candy". To shoot anyone 10 times, just ridiculous! What happened to protect and serve? #Ferguson

America doesn't think we're human, the world doesn't think we're human, and cops don't get punished for killing us for no reason. #ferguson

I see white people cuss police officers slam out and get "negotiated" with. Your black/brown ass try it, you're dead.

The only reason those cops haven't gone all Selma on the people in #Ferguson is because the cameras are rolling. That's it.

Reminder that this is legal, but young unarmed black men are threatening and make us "uncomfortable" #Fergusonpic.twitter.com/VbRyW7J9nR

RT @QuiltingMuriel: This is not a "black" loss. This is a loss for America, and everyone should be concerned, outraged & involved. #Ferguson
