Cacs villified Tommie Smith and John Carlos in 68 too. Now they use the image of them that they condemned so much in corny montages to show how multicultural America is.
Fukk it. Let them be mad.

As I said in another thread, I hope the athletes keep protesting. Some people watch sports and turn their brains off. They expect athletes to be nonpolitical and just do their job. I hope the Rams keep it up, then the Cavaliers/Browns do something for Tamir Rice. A story came up saying they did no CPR and watched Rice writhe in pain and die. Then I hope the Giants/Jets/Knicks do something about Eric Garner. The day for whether they indict the cops is coming up soon. If they fail to indict, protest that too. Protest it all. Shove it in mainstream America's face and don't let up. Make them look at this.
I haven't been keeping up with this story much. I'm not into watching the news like I used to be but did this kid really rob a store then got stopped and reach in a cop's car and try to take his gun or is that just some BS they came up with to justify the shooting?

KU Journalism Major Shreds “Case” Against Mike Brown
Shelby Lawson is a student at the University of Kansas, majoring in Journalism and Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies. Lawson posted the following to her Facebook page:
“Alright y’all. I’d like to clear a few things up. This is a general address to the long list of misconceptions and inconsistencies and abuses of power that exist surrounding the killing of Mike Brown. I have researched these points and provided sources in case you wish to do some reading of your own.
-The most common misconception I’m hearing is that Mike Brown was significantly larger than Officer Wilson. This is incorrect. On page 198 of the official grand jury transcript, you can see that Officer Wilson testifies he is 6 ft 4 and weighs 210 lbs, the same size as Mike Brown.
(source)
-Mike Brown was NOT stopped because he was a suspect in crime. He and his friend Dorian Johnson were stopped for jaywalking, as Darren Wilson testifies to on page 208 of his grand jury testimony.
-Mike Brown WAS fleeing from Officer Wilson when he was fatally shot. Wilson confirms this on page 281 of his grand jury testimony.
-Officer Wilson broke police self-defense protocol, which teaches to disarm and incapacitate rather than kill and teaches officers to go for body shots. Officer Wilson shotMike Brown twice in the head, after he shot him four times in his arm and torso.
(source)
-Ferguson Police ignored protocol and refused to interview or take a statement from the eyewitness present from Officer Wilson’s initial contact with Mike Brown until his death.
(source)
-The forensic examiner broke protocol by failing to take crime scene photos. On page 95 of the grand jury transcript, she claims that this was because her camera had died, however, she goes on to describe how she immediately followed Wilson to the hospital in order to photograph his “injuries.”
-Forensic investigators broke protocol by failing to test Officer Wilson’s gun for fingerprints, since Wilson claims that Brown grabbed his gun and caused it to misfire. Page 39, grand jury transcript.
-Darren Wilson was then allowed to break protocol by washing the blood off of himself before it could be photographed, making it impossible to analyze blood spatter patterns and determine what position Mike Brownwas in when Wilson first shot him. Wilson recounts this on page 10 of his official police interview.
(source)
-While Officer Wilson’s story of what happened that day has changed at least three times, six separate eyewitnesses, four of whom have never met each other, all have identical accounts of what happened. They were never interviewed by police.
(source)
-These eyewitnesses all agree that Darren Wilson was the aggressor and that Mike Brown was shot while surrendering, with his hands in the air and that his last words were “I don’t have a gun. Stop shooting.”
-This is backed up by Mike Brown’s autopsy, which suggests that Mike Brown would have had to be in the hands-up position for the bullets to enter his hand and arm the way they did.
(source)
-Furthermore, in a press conference, the coroner who performed Mike Brown’s autopsy relays that there was no trace of gun shot residue anywhere on his body, proving that Wilson’s claim that Mike Brown grabbed his gun, causing it to misfire, is impossible and untrue.
(source)
-Ferguson Police lied about the distance Mike Brown was from Officer Wilson when he was killed. They reported it was 35 ft. but it was in fact 148 ft.
(source)
-Owner of Ferguson Market states that he did not call police to report a theft of cigars, that the theft had nothing to do with Mike Brown, and that the man on the security footage is not Mike Brown.
(source)
-The prosecuting attorney for the case against Darren Wilson has helped raise $600,000 in donations for Darren Wilson, creating a clear conflict of interest.
(source)
-The police department that Officer Wilson worked for prior to coming to Ferguson was disbanded after multiple instances of racial profiling.”

The "justice" system in Ferguson is bleeding the black population dry with fines and court fees for bullshyt charges.
Ferguson is a city located in northern St. Louis County with 21,203 residents living in 8,192 households. The majority (67%) of residents are African-American…22% of residents live below the poverty level.
Despite Ferguson’s relative poverty, fines and court fees comprise the second largest source of revenue for the city, a total of $2,635,400. In 2013, the Ferguson Municipal Court disposed of 24,532 warrants and 12,018 cases, or about 3 warrants and 1.5 cases per household. You don’t get $321 in fines and fees and 3 warrants per household from an about-average crime rate. You get numbers like this from bullshyt arrests for jaywalking and constant “low level harassment involving traffic stops, court appearances, high fines, and the threat of jail for failure to pay.”
This corruption getting black folks busted for jaywalking/walking down the middle of the street helps to fund the city

Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson was involved in a violent altercation with the father of his lover’s child that saw assault charges brought in a case closed just six months before the Missouri cop shot dead Michael Brown.
Ferguson erupted as protesters reacted angrily to news of the Grand Jury’s decision not to indict the officer for the fatal shooting.
Wilson, 28, had been in hiding since August 9 when he pumped six bullets into the unarmed teen until the day after the verdict, when was interviewed by ABC News..
While the Grand Jury considered the evidence, Brown’s family waited for answers and protesters seethed with anger, Wilson married his lover, fellow Ferguson officer, Barbara Spradling, in a secret ceremony in St Louis County.
The couple are now expecting their first child together.
Now, court documents seen by MailOnline have revealed the turbulent history of the relationship that ended two marriages, sparked an ongoing custody battle and saw Wilson and Spradling, 37, embroiled in the assault case with her former lover, John Blumenthal, 52.
Papers filed at Jefferson County Court expose the true extent of Wilson’s disrupted home-life and show the volatile backdrop against which the officer undertook his life of public service.
They reveal pressures of which the Grand Jury was unaware as they considered the Wilson’s state of mind when he pulled the trigger on August 9 and discharged 12 rounds. Six bullets hit home, felling the 6ft 2 teenager.
According to court records, on 16 May 2013 John Blumenthal returned home around midnight to find Wilson - 24 years his junior - on the sofa with the mother of his child in the house that he and Barbara Spradling still shared.
The couple’s then four-year-old child was asleep in bed when a violent confrontation took place.
In her account Spradling stated that Blumenthal, who worked for Neihaus Construction, was ‘depressed over losing his job.’
She said that he stated ‘he wanted to kill himself [and] that he was not coming home ever again.’
But Blumenthal did come home. Spradling said, ‘My boyfriend [Wilson] and I were sitting on the couch when we heard banging on the garage and front door.’
Spradling let Blumenthal in and, she stated, ‘He immediately became aggressive and started hitting my boyfriend with a pillow as hard as he could. John then tried punching him several times.’
Spradling then recounted that her former partner, ‘Pulled my hair out of my head, choked me, punched me in the face and hit me in the face with his shoe. He continued to pull my hair several times.’
Assault charges leveled against Blumenthal were dismissed in August last year after he pleaded guilty to three misdemeanor charges.
Documents filed at Hillsboro, Missouri’s Jefferson County Court on July 1 2013 detail the grim events of the midnight brawl between Blumenthal, the mother of his child and her lover and colleague Wilson.
Blumenthal pleaded guilty to two counts of disturbance of the peace and one of destruction of property.
In his probable cause statement Wilson ‘advised that the defendant attempted to strike him several times with a closed fist, as well as placed him in a headlock, causing abrasions to his face and chest.
‘The victim further stated that the defendant kicked his vehicle, causing a dent which would cost approximately five hundred dollars to fix.’
To add a further layer of complexity to Wilson’s fraught domestic background, he was still married to his first wife, Ashley Brown, 30, at the time the incident took place, although the couple had separated three months earlier.
Divorce papers finalized on 18 November 2013, after just 16 months of marriage, state that the union was ‘irretrievably broken.’ Contrary to previous reports they did not have children together and Ms Brown was not pregnant at the time of their split.
Documents filed in the County of St Charles and St Louis show that Wilson and Brown married on October 15 2011 when he was 25 and she was 21.
At the time Brown is described as working for St Louis based healthcare company SSM while Wilson had already embarked on his career at Ferguson - where he met Spradling, the woman who last month became his second wife.
When Wilson and Brown’s divorce was finalized - by which time he and Spradling were living together - both parties walked away with what they brought into the marriage. They paid their own attorney fees and court costs and Brown reverted to her maiden name.
The only items mentioned specifically are that Wilson took his Chevrolet Cruze 2011 - the one dented by an enraged Blumenthal - and Brown took her Pontiac G6.
And though theirs was a blame free divorce, Wilson agreed to pay his former wife $4000 in medical arrears incurred on her payments ensuring her coverage on his police health insurance. He paid another $250 a month for up to 12 months towards her health insurance until she got cover from her employer.
Spradling’s dealings with Blumenthal remain unresolved.
Court records indicate that on August 25, just two weeks after Wilson shot Brown, a case was filed with social services in the dispute between Spradling and Blumenthal over custody of their five-year-old son.
