not affected, but what could be affected is [Brown's] reaction to the cop." A Pew Research Center Survey published on August 18 suggested differences in American public opinion between whites and blacks. It indicated 80% of blacks and 37% of whites believed the shooting "raises important issues about race". On , St. Louis held their annual Peace Fest, which had a particular focus on Mike Brown.
