Ferguson and Marketing

Within watching the hot topics from the comic it showed that there is many ways that companies could market form the way things are being handled in the case of Ferguson and Missouri. You have the police department walking around as if they are the military and it actually has the public really scared to even walk down the streets. “Peaceful, but high tension protests escalated into riots and looting when out of town agitators and thugs started arriving. Looting and stealing innocent people's property cannot ever be justified and it tainted the protester's message. Speaking of out of town agitators, our own Councilwoman Attica Scott added some unwelcome nonsense of her own intended to inflame the situation when she said, "Police officers are paid by taxpayer dollars. The budget is approved by some local government to then pay these individuals to kill our babies." Ms. Scott, if you can't say something smarter than that, just shut up.” 

Many have been affected by the many other things in the community like the curfew that was taking into action a few days after the riots. With the police officers having the handguns and the fire power to actually go about things in a smart manner they are acting like the citizens in the taxpayers are nothing but animals. "He shot again and once my friend felt that shot he turned around and put his hands in the air and started to get down, and the officer still approached with his weapon drawn and fired several more shots."( http://www.cbsnews.com/news/thousands-march-at-vigil-for-teen-killed-in-police-shooting) Minority or not citizens are definitely outraged of this senseless act of violence.  One would think what else would have happen to the boy if he tries to steal more than that.  It is known to all that the police in every state and country are there to “Serve and Protect.”  In this instance, it is very hard to portray that.  According to the text, the key to good product design, according to Jonathan Ive, Vice President of Design at Apple Computer, is to care about what you are creating: “It is about focus and caring. We know every bit of the product inside-out because we need to understand what is possible. Bad products testify to people not caring. Our goal is to develop the very best products we can. Some things you rely on intuitively to say ‘yes, this is right’.” (More Than a Name 170)

In the actions of everything going on it raises many issues that have minorities on edge and the government and the citizens in an uproar from feeling like they are at prison camps rather than in a free country. I think that if the world was to act like the other places in the world and not sue for every little thing that is out there things would be ten times better in the world. If we had people that focused more on like how a group of inner city kids that play baseball at a YMCA made it to the nationals for baseball and be happy about things like that.
