Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  He rākau i whakatapua ki te whakamaharatanga ki a Michael Brown kua whakangaromia e ngā kaipahua i ngā haora noa iho i muri i te whakatō. I whakatokia te rākau ki January-Wabash Park i Ferguson, Missouri i te Rāhoroi hei whakatapunga ki te taiohi, i patua i te huarahi e te pirihimana i te marama o Akuhata o te tau kua hipa. I karangatia 'he tohu mo te rangimarie, te whakamarie me te tumanako mo te hunga katoa e huihui ana ki ona manga' i te huihuinga iti i arahina e te Black Caucus o te American Library Association, nana nei i tuku te rakau. Heoi, i te ata o te Rātapu, kua pakaru nga manga, ka mahue he wahi o te rakau anake. Panuku ki raro mō te ataata. I mua: I whakawhiwhia e te Black Caucus o te American Library Association te rakau me te papa whakamaharatanga, a i whakatokia i te Hanuere-Wabash Park i Ferguson, Missouri i te Rahoroi (whakaahua) I whakangaromia: Engari i te ata o te Ratapu, kua pakaru te rakau, ka waiho noa iho he waahanga o te rakau. I tangohia hoki te papa whakarewa whakatapunga i te turanga o te rakau. I pānuihia: 'Ki te Maharatanga o Michael Brown Jr. Ka whakatapua te rakau 04/15.' 'E kore au e mārama he aha i hiahia ai tētahi tangata ki te tapahi i te rākau,' i kī atu tētahi tangata i te papa ki a KMOV. 'He aha, e hiahia ana ratou ki te tīmata i te tahi mea hoki ake?' 'He ra tino pouri i te wa e whakatapua ana te rakau, a, i te ra i muri mai ka haere mai tetahi, ka whakangaro i a ia mo te heck o taua mea,' ka tapiritia e Gerald Brooks o te Black Caucus o te American Library Association ki Fox2. Ko tetahi rakau tuarua e tata ana ki te whakamaharatanga o Brown, a i whakatapua e tetahi kainoho o Ferguson ki ta raatau kararehe kua mate, i pakaru ano hoki. I tahaetia hoki te papa o taua rākau. I te Mane, i whakatohia nga tipu e rua, ka whakakapihia nga papa whakamaharatanga i tenei wiki, i kii a KSDK. Hou: I te Mane, ko te rakau - me tetahi atu rakau i whakangaromia e tata ana - i whakakapihia i te waahi. I tangohia: Ko te papa whakamaharatanga, i whakaahuatia, i tangohia ano, engari me whakakapi i tenei wiki. Kei te tirotirohia e te Tari Pirihimana o Ferguson te kaupapa hei mahi whakangaromanga engari kaore o ratou whakapae. 'Kua tirotirohia e ngā pirihimana te rohe...
I whakatokia te rākau ki te January-Wabash Park i Ferguson, Missouri i te Rāhoroi, engari i te Rātapu, kua whatiwhatiia tōna rākau. I te Mane, kua whakatokia anō, ā, kei te tirotirohia e te Tari Pirihimana o Ferguson te kaupapa hei mahi tukino. Koinei te toru o nga wa i whakangaromia ai te whakamaharatanga o Brown; i te marama o Hepetema, ka mura te whakamaharatanga, i te marama o Tihema, ka patua tetahi e te motuka.
