Exactly. Dude trying to say it's not so much about race as it is about the militarization of police. Get the fukk out with that nonsense. This is about a visceral hatred of black people by white America. The police are just one way to exercise that hatred.and the "not all white people response" of course just had to be said in this thread..
when white people say that shyt it a. makes it about themselves b. taking away from the realities of white supremacy and racism
it literally does NOTHING to challenge the ideas and to deconstruct racism or white supremacy.

an ally doesn't do that. an ally listens. it doesn't derail it into being about them.
A Weekend of Resistance in October, 10/10-10/13 (Columbus Day Weekend)
We are in a movement moment.
Droves of people, many of them young and black, took to the streets of Ferguson to demand justice for Mike Brown. Millions stood in solidarity as protestors were met by a brutal and militarized response by local police departments.
Our country can no longer deny the epidemic of police violence facing Black and Brown communities. Mike Brown is now part of a long list of people like John Crawford, Ezell Ford, Eric Garner, Oscar Grant and countless others who have been unjustly killed by police. Their lives mattered.
Join Hands Up United, Organization for Black Struggle, Missourians Organizing for Reform and Empowerment and our partners in Ferguson from October 10-13th for a weekend of resistance. We’re hosting a series of public events—marches, convenings and panels— to build momentum for a nationwide movement against police violence.
We will gather in Ferguson, but the world will hear our call for change.

Like Zimmerman rightYou know that boy Wilson is scared to death to even leave his house, of course he won't go to that trial. If anything I take solace in the fact that his life is pretty much over. He's always gonna have to watch his back now.
We can do it, we just need to be on the same page and spread the wordfukk, I wish I heard about this earlier. I find how to make my way up there. Have ya'll seen how them muhfukkas out in Hong Kong came out and supported one another once the police started pulling the same shyt on them?
We need this kinda out pouring in Ferguson

You’d think that searching “Mike Brown” “Michael Brown” “protest” “Ferguson” “protest in front of CNN” would bring up something reported directly by CNN, but no. It was like playing a game of Where’s Waldo while searching the above, as well as, more words/phrases. How can a “front page” newsworthy event have happened RIGHT OUTSIDE of a news station and there’s no easily found record of it taking place FROM that news outlet?
Inquiring minds would still like to know…

Police say protesters must keep moving, no standing still.
Protesters respond with a BYOB (bring your own bike) protest. Protesters are riding bikes outside of the Ferguson PD, slowing traffic but obeying all traffic laws.
