Ferguson police execute an unarmed 17 yr old boy (Update: Ferguson police chief to resign 3/19)

[Y2Dre]

@Cbanks36 to keep it 100....I agree with you. This generation not willing to die for freedom like our elders once were during the Black Power movement. These kids just want to go to rallies and take pictures for Instagram. What also bothered me is the staggering amount of CAC's that was out there. Take that for what you will, but to hear that, there was any where from 25k people to 60k at the NYC event is straight up fools gold.

These crackers will March til they get blisters and go home and not do shyt for Black people (and they aren't supposed to) what made Feeguson the powerful movement that it was is that all the people there are BLACK. There's also no nationwide group that's galvinizing the youth, and a lot of the energy that's being produced is going to waste. I'm actually thinking of starting one based out of NYC. I just need like 3-5 other people to get it off the ground.


I'm just sick of marching and then nothing happens. I'm sick of begging these Devils for some justice when I know that they have no conscience or empathy. I just with our brothers and sisters saw them the same way most of us on here do.



Oh yeah and shame on the free Palestine movement for trying to make the NY event about themselves. Damn shame.

@Cbanks36 , I too some days have da same sentiments of "wtf are dese protests really gonna do tho. "

BUT...being silent about da shyt is far worse. I'd rather at least see dese kinda public displays of vocalizations/mobilizations rather than watch tumble weeds n hear crickets when fukked up shyt like dis happens.

Unfortunately, we live in a country whose roots of corruption and mistreatment(understatement like a mufukka) of black folks run DEEP. Far deeper than any amounts of marches n boycotts can effectively damage right now.

Think about it...it hasn't eam been a full 50 years since da Civil Rights movement popped off. I think some of us(our elders especially) have been a bit naive and have given way to much faith/trust in a system dat wasn't designed for our benefit. Never was and never will be.

All dis talk about "progress" annoys da fukk outta me. Da only real progress made in dis country has been da maintaining of white supremacy through a less "obvious" means. And eam dat has been half assed because it shows its putrid face all da fukkin time.

And as for "Final thoughts"....dere are none because dis bullshyt is light years away from being ova.

I'm done in this thread. This last 6 months of 14 have been depressing. Seeing this countries true colors and watching these young men loose their lives for no reason at all..

The Facebook comments from white friends
The president playing politics

I'm going to keep building with the youth in little Italy. This was a sick year.

Black lives matter to black people. The system doesn't give a shyt about black lives or lives period

FINAL THOGUHTS

well brehs....

I'm kind of speechless because I'm torn. Spent my day in DC (yesterday) and let me just say... it was a great spectacle but I'm not sure this generation is ready for the next phase.

As I watched/listened to the government agent (Sharpton) facilitate and lead the march it dawned on me....

This strategy of march/protest and flash mob (die-in) does nothing but incentivize the police to kill more minorities (Think about that)

All of the police made overtime yesterday. The city made money. There was no legislation passed or none put on the table to force police to police in a different manner.

JUST ONE BIG emotional spectacle to spread awareness on a reoccurring issue that honestly happens so often to black men at the hands of law enforcement you would think there was laws put into place that combat it.......

- There was a Sharpton led march for Sean Bell in NY back in 08
- one for Trayvon back in 13,
- one for Mike Brown, Tamir Rice, Eric Garner yesterday

Are the police being forced to change the way they police? The simple answer is no

My heart goes out to the mothers of the lost children. I'm seriously at a loss for words. You can feel their pain when they speak and there is no way they'll ever get over the losses they've had to endure.

The system is so incredibly broken

This is what I've been saying the entire time.

 

[Danie84]

Props to Cid and Umaara (two sistahs), who organized #BLACKLIVEMATTERS NYC march.

I didn't cross BK bridge with the crowd, but it looked like a "UNITED State" out there. Some

"protesters" got checked for chanting that ALL LIVES MATTER hogwash, which made me more proud of my people that's AWAKE of the tricknology

Coli, NYC fam, hit me up, so we can build more on this BLACKEXCELLENCE Power revival movement

I totally understand your frustration. It's like at the end of the day, what do we get out of all this marching, peaceful protesting and die ins? What tangible results do we get from it? nothin.

I felt the same way yesterday when I was out there yesterday. It is commendable that hundreds of thousands of people stand together for this cause, but until we take legislative action and change the process of jury selection, grand jury selection and change internal police investigations/internal affairs, nothing is gonna change.

[eastside313]

Went to my first community meeting today about racial equality brehs. I live on the edge of detroit near a suburb called grosse pointe. Grosse pointe is one of the richest cities in the country and they don't fukk around with "us".


It was 5 blacks and about 20 whites in this discussion group. And the white folks talked how they needed to open their hearts and have a cup of coffee with the people from the detroit side or how about a block party how they want their neighborhoods to be more deversified. A lady with a coffee shop on mack, which is the actual border street complaining about why detroit people don't come to her shop. Cause nikkas get locked up and harassed over their B stop acting dumb.

Meanwhile one of us would chime in about the driving while black in grosse point or the racism that we incur over there or white privledge or mention mike brown. Then a drunk looking cab driver cac stands up and says black people need to worry about why there's so much black on black crime thats their main problem. Had to give his ass that work and tell him to stop watching tv and gathering his opinions by what the news say. Overall it was a good experience and I got my feet wet, but I plan on going to many more forums or meetings around my city.

[B]The system is so incredibly broken[/B]

People keep repeating this mantra, but it is wholly incorrect.
The system is doing exactly what it is designed to do.
It has been streamlined and refined over centuries, continued from colonialism, carried over from british edwardian society, and adapted from roman antiquity before that.

The system is working as intended in every facet, even down to protests.
Protesting is not only allowed, but encouraged, because protests do nothing under the system.
This is why media outlets and governmental agencies express support for and emphasize peaceful protests. Peaceful protests are a tool of the hierchy to occupy the time and energy of potential uprisers away from active rebellion and violence, the [B]only[/B] actions documented throughout history to ever invoke change.

 

[hex]

Had a buddy of mine tell me that he would run over protestors in his car and that they didn't pay taxes or have jobs.... hurt to have to have these conversations with people I grew up with, but at the end of the day I can't blame people who aren't on Twitter and don't REALLY know what's going on. The media has done a great job of subtly making all of the protestors look like criminals or bums.

Breh no offense but if he don't know what's going on tell him to take a seat and keep quiet. If somebody I knew....like really knew, out of my core group of friends I've known 25-30 years....said some shyt like that we'd probably be fighting, because they should know better.

The rest of the world can not know what they're talking about, but my inner circle?

Excellent Points.

We had another march near downtown dallas the other day & one of the cops just shook his head at me & said "it is what it is".
All of the major news networks covering the protests are making millions from it, I don't agree when people call Rev Al a "race baitor" but he is an opportunitst but he has done a lot for the black community too.

One of things I find irritating is before the gardner decison came down, obama said he would like to have body cameras on ALL officers but then you see one of the officers put the guy in a rear naked choke over cigs & there were over 6 officers there as if the man was committing a felony.

Obama making that declaration now seems beyond silly because the cops still won't be prosecuted & he knows it. I'm not blaming this all on him but I don't wanna see obama back to "community organizer obama" in 2 years crying about changing legislation but when he was president he didn't even initiate it.

There are a lot of ignorant people out there who don't understand what this is all about, it's about a precedent being set of holding officers who are suppose to protect accountable when they commit murders & crimes. Internal Affairs is a joke & asking prosecutors to pursue charges against officers is a slippery slope considering they use officers in trials everyday. They work hand in hand which is a MAJOR reason why officers are ALWAYS given the benefit of the doubt & are never really brought up on charges.

Nobody really has all of the answers but we need legislative changes made, even if special prosecutors are appointed in ALL officer related shootings/killings would be a start.

I must say black people in america are the most forgiving race there is:

We're told that slavery was a long time ago, get over it.
We're told dress right & be articulate & we still get harrassed, beat up & killed by officers or any cac with a CWL.
We're told by timid azz blacks to "let god deal with it" when an injustice happens to us.
We're told to worry about black on black crime even though over 90% time if a black kills a black they are usually brought to justice.
And even after we're murdered, our characters are murdered again in the media.

Every thing associated with being black in america is demonized & thought to be negative & we see time after time being black in america is a crime within itself which is wrong on all levels...

McCullough Forgets to Release Key Documents in Michael Brown Case:


Missouri Prosecutor Releases More Ferguson Grand Jury Evidence

St. Louis County Prosecutor Bob McCulloch apologized for “inadvertently” omitting to release some of the evidence collected after the shooting of Michael Brown. The newly released evidence includes a transcript of an interview with Dorian Johnson, a friend of Brown’s, who was with the 18-year-old when he died.



Almost two dozen documents related to the August shooting death of 18-year-old Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, were made public Saturday by the St. Louis County Prosecutor.


Prosecutor Bob McCulloch — who had promised to unseal all evidence submitted to the grand jury when he announced on Nov. 24 their decision not to indict Officer Darren Wilson, the police offer who killed Brown, setting off a wave of protests across the U.S. — apologized for “inadvertently” omitting to release the documents.


“Clearly, I inadvertently omitted some material,” McCulloch said in a statement. “I apologize for any confusion this may have caused.”


Among the 23 newly-released documents is a transcript of a police interview with Dorian Johnson, a friend of Brown’s, who was with the unarmed teenager when he was shot and killed.


“Once the officer fired the second shot at my friend Big Mike I knew he was struck because he instantly stopped in his tracks,” Johnson told detectives in the interview. “He stopped running. His hands were in the air before he turned around.”


Johnson said that Brown had raised his hands and shouted that he was unarmed to the officers. He also said he heard “more than four” shots fired.

“My friend went all the way down in the fatal [sic] position,” Johnson told detectives. “I watched him take every, several more shots. I watched his facial expression.”


“I see the pain in his face,” he said. “He cannot say nothin’. He’s not screamin’ ‘cause I feel like he’s still in shock because each time, each time he’s shot, he’s tryin’ to get another word out until the fatal shot which, I don’t know what made him stop moving, but he stopped moving and he was on the ground.” Johnson described feeling sick and nauseated following the shooting. “I seen someone who I was just seconds to talking to, dead,” he said.


In another of a the newly released documents, a Ferguson told detectives that Officer Wilson was nicknamed “Ears” in the neighborhood, “cause his ears big”. Wilson was said to have a reputation in the community for “messing people around” and “pulling people over.”

Fred.

I broke it down to him, let him know this is about this new generation of black college students and high schoolers that are scared and afraid that they consistently see people kill them and not even get indicted. Who cares if you're late for work because people laid in the street (this happened to him) there is a bigger picture. I didn't fight him but I made my point. He had to see it my way once I started asking him which college students and church people he knew that would loot a store.... kind of scary how quick people can take faux news rhetoric as gold.
