Can you imagine though?

Can you imagine thousands upon thousands of protesters bringing the parade that is broadcasted to millions of American homes, to a complete halt? Imagine sitting at home on Thanksgiving, tomorrow, watching the parade with your family, when the protesters manage to bring the entire parade to a standstill

Imagine how amazing and ground-breaking that would be. Fuck the traditions of this genocidal holiday. Change history. Do not stand down.

Even if Darren Wilson was totally in the right (which seems to be the most controversial part of all this) and I’m not saying he is. The way the police have handled the media coverage and protests have been unconstitutional, unethical and overt police brutality. It will be extremely hard to punish Darren Wilson legally due to the recent decision by the superior court. These police shootings are symptoms of the racist police practices in Ferguson and nationally. Fighting the system is in some ways more likely to succeed and make a difference large scale. But it’s not an either or decision. Fight for both causes.

Remember, the Montgomery Bus Boycott was 381 days. You can do it for one.

Please boycott Black Friday. If we hit them on their pockets, they will listen

Hey

Instead of just referring to online news articles as credible evidence, here’s a link to all of the actual released documents from the Mike Brown case.

David So is an East Asian YouTuber who thinks that the people of Ferguson are “Fucking Morons”

Here’s his Facebook & Twitter. Stand up.

Don’t wear masks at protests, you can get arrested in most states.

Don’t use any KKK member’s credit card numbers posted online, they’ve all been flagged for activity. If you try to use them to donate to fundraisers for protestors, that can get the fundraisers shut down….

Today I am heartbroken.

Today I am angry.

I’m at a loss for words, so let this speak for its self.

Scars and Stripes, –Acrylic and ink on paper.

A lot of people have asked me if it’s ok for them to share this on their site or social media, and to all who have I thank you.

But I’ve left this unsigned and un-watermarked for a reason.

I don’t care much for the credit, all I care about is getting this out there.

It’s not about me, it’s not about promoting my art, and it’s not just about Mike Brown. This piece is about all those right now who are being persecuted by the state for their color. This is for every unwarranted traffic stop, every beating by an officer, every black child who is afraid to walk home from school, not from bullies, or pedophiles, or muggers, but scared to death by the very people who swore an oath to serve and protect them.

It’s not my image,

it’s theirs.

If you were watching the #noindictment verdict being delivered, #ferguson protestors SILENTLY AND PEACEFULLY walked away. Thus, respecting The Family of Mike Brown’s wishes of having a peaceful protest. In contrast, building up to the verdict, police all over the country have armored trucks, extra paddy wagons, etc. waiting “just in case.” 😒😒😒 Now, who and what will YOU believe? Mass media that was anxiously chomping at the bit for “good tv” or #peacefulprotestors who are providing LIVE accounts of #ferguson? #justiceforMikeBrown #arrestDarrenWilson

moreover, there’s every reason to believe that some of the fires were initiated by the tear gas canisters (I saw at least one small fire start up after one was shot and just started spewing flames in a parking lot).
There was also minimal agitation in the crowd until the police started trying to corral people and box them in. at which point the police THEN issued dispersal orders (where you gonna disperse to when you’re boxed in by lines of police in riot gear). and THEN the police started firing rubber bullets and tear gas.

So let’s get this right:
Protestors stood and made their hurt known; they even tried to stop vandalism by agitators/anarchists/plants.
When they tried to march police BOXED. THEM. IN. and THEN delivered orders to disperse.
the police THEN started firing rubber bullets at close range, tear gas at head height hitting at least a few people and starting at least one fire
they fired tear gas into residential areas and at parked cars in strip mall lots
they didn’t show up when protestors were trying to report looting and vandalism because they were….?

Because I was listening to the scanner while watching two live streams and the news (yeah I know, sounds wild but hey gotta cover as much territory as possible) and the cops didn’t respond to any actual trouble. They only instigated violence between them and people who were protesting.

OMG CAN YALL PLEASE BOOST THIS! THIS IS IMPORTANT!

Although walking the news and live feeds on my dash I knew something wasn’t right and the police commissioner was lying! Everything this person is saying is how I felt!

Be alert they are trying to trick us to be even more segregated within our community! Don’t be fooled!
