DopeBET would never play this...
Ferguson police execute an unarmed 17 yr old boy (Update: Ferguson police chief to resign 3/19)
- Thread starter Canon
- Start date
I'm sure they have guns and one or two people on the other side will get killed, and I hate sounding like a defeatist but the other side has
-armored personnel vehicles
-tear gas, smoke bombs
-stun grenades, concusion grenades
-stun guns, rubber / wooden bullets
-full body armor
-armour piercing bullets
-manned / unmanned drones
And that's without getting into lethal weapons
Anyways I say to say this, race relations after this incident will never be the same in this country, my only hope is that people of color use it as a learning experience and I don't mean a learning experience in how to act around police or voting or none of that time wasting shyt. We need to learn to be prepared for the eventual collapse of this society, Katrina is another incident people need to study to see how much a black life is valued in this country

Rev. Earl Baldwin Jr. (Pennsylvania): Tased By Pittsburgh Police While Praying & Giving Last Respects For His Deceased Stepson In A Hospital, Survived The Taser Attack, Has Now Sued Pittsburgh In A Civil Rights Lawsuit Over The Tasing
Reverend Earl Baldwin Jr. of Pittsburgh filed a civil rights lawsuit against police after they allegedly restrained and tased him in a hospital emergency room. Baldwin claims he was trying to pay his last respects to his dead stepson when the incident occurred.
According to Baldwin, he was trying to pray for 23-year-old Mileek Grissom in the UPMC Mercy Hospital, when officers pulled him away and tased him. “I needed to tell him his family was going to be OK,” Baldwin explained to WPXI. “I was going to do everything I could to make sure they were OK.”
Video from a hospital camera shows a distraught Baldwin handcuffed and surrounded by several officers trying to pull him away from his son, and one of the officers shooting him in the back with a taser. Officers say Baldwin was interfering while doctors tried to revive Grissom, but a family attorney says Grissom was dead and not being treated at the time.
The police department has not issued a statement about the lawsuit, but UPMC refutes Baldwin’s claim. “Clearly this was a stressful situation and a tragic loss for this family,” it said. “However, the allegations about the circumstances are inaccurate.”
Tori Baldwin, Grissom’s mother, was denied entry into the hospital at the time.
well you know...had to protect the child from dying some more

Good first move by the courts
True but the only move that counts for now is that grand jury bringing charges
Dont no man they should
I'm disturbed by how quiet things seemed to have become over the past few days. Maybe people are recharging for this upcoming weekend, but I really think the people in Ferguson know and understand they're about to face the inevitable and are recharging for that... the calm before the storm

“
A federal judge on Monday issued an injunction barring police from enforcing what became known as “the five-second rule,” in which protesters in Ferguson, Missouri could only stay still for that brief amount of time. U.S. District Court Judge Catherine Perry ruled that the statute was unconstitutional because it violated protesters’ freedom of speech rights, as well as due process.
“[T]he policy fails to provide sufficient notice of what is illegal and because it was enforced arbitrarily,” wrote Perry in response to a case brought by the ACLU.
In the aftermath of unarmed, black teen Michael Brown’s shooting death at the hands of a white Ferguson police officer, local police commonly relied on the rule as a crowd control tactic and even insisted that reporters had to be in the media staging area or keep walking. It led to one of the defining images from nights of upheaval in Ferguson: Bands of protesters marching along city streets, helping those who were elderly stay moving.
Tony Rothert, legal director of the ACLU of Missouri, noted that such rules tend to increase tension when applied “haphazardly.” He add that “Judge Perry’s injunction is a huge win for peaceful protesters and those who believe in the rule of law.”
The police-enforced rule also prevented people from gathering on sidewalks, which also violated freedom of speech, according to Perry’s ruling.
“Citizens who wish to gather in the wake of Michael Brown’s tragic death have a constitutional right to do so, but they do not have the right to endanger lives of police officers or other citizens,” Perry wrote, adding that the ruling still allows officers to enforce refusal-to-disperse laws, one of the most commonly used charges used to arrest protesters in Ferguson. “The police must be able to perform their jobs, and nothing in this order restricts their ability to do that.”

Shaun King - Psychopathy Of Racism (with tweets) · moderndaydude →storify.com
Shaun King breaks down the absurdity and villainy of racism.
"In the eyes of a racist, what a black man or woman saw with their own eyes is worth less than a faint rumor told by a white person. "In the mind of a racist, what three very real, very traumatized African Americans witnessed Darren Wilson do is borderline irrelevant…..A Psychopathic Racial Personality doesn’t need facts, it will create them whenever necessary. Yes. It will."
