Sister Dragonfly approached a Ferguson officer and held up the sign, but the officer continuously looked away. Finally, she yelled out that he should make eye contact with her and look at the sign.
Silently, the officer looked at her, but he seemed unable to say anything to defend the actions of Ferguson area police officers who have been cracking down on peaceful protesters of the Mike Brown shooting by Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson.
“Why do you all hate us so much?” Dragonfly pleaded, asking why the Ferguson and St. Louis area police officers seem to hate members of the African American community.
But the officer replied, “I don’t hate you, ma’am.”
Obviously surprised by the answer, she said: “I don’t want to hate you, I’d rather hug you.”
The officer who seemed to feel remorse for the racist behavior of so many fellow officers said simply: “Then hug me.”
Dragonfly then put her arms around the officer and the two hugged for nearly a minute.
