NFL: Detroit Lions Running Back Reggie Bush Compares Ferguson to Middle East Conflict

Detroit Lions running back Reggie Bush posted the above image to his Instagram account shortly after it was announced that Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson will not face charges for fatally shooting Michael Brown.

The poster in the picture reads, "The Palestinian people know what mean to be shot while unarmed because of your ethnicity #Ferguson #Justice."

Bush captioned the photo, "No matter who you are, what color skin you have, where you live, we are all in this together! This isn't a Ferguson problem it's a Global Problem! We need change NOW! What happened to humanity? #JusticeForMikeBrown."

Bush's post can be construed as a suggestion that Israelis are shooting unarmed Palestinians, as Brown was unarmed when he was shot. The controversial post has garnered over 12,000 likes on Bush's Instagram account.
