What’s going on in Ferguson: basics by clehmentine livestream of ferguson ...

Today in Solidarity (11/30/14): Artists in Ferguson/St Louis have transformed boarded up shops into beautiful protest art, calling for peace, strength, and understanding. A movement in motion. #staywoke #farfromover

In the past month these policemen have been let off for killing Black people. 

1. Darren Wilson shot and killed unarmed Black teen, Mike Brown, at least six times. Not indicted November 24th, 2014.

2. Joseph Weekley shot and killed seven year old Aiyana Stanley-Jones as she was sleeping on her couch during a drug raid in 2010. Detroit Judge Cynthia Gray Hathaway just dismissed charges against him for involuntary manslaughter this past October.

3. Daniel Pantaleo killed unarmed Black man, Eric Garner, by putting him in an illegal choke-hold. On December 3rd, 2014 a NY grand jury releases their decision to not indict Pantaleo.

"A system cannot fail those it was never meant to protect" #Blacklivesmatter

So physically, mentally, and emotionally exhausted from this week but it’s not over. The protests aren’t over, the conversations aren’t over, the fight isn’t over.

Will you deny that your jails are filled with the children of the poor, not the children of the rich? Will you deny that men steal because their bellies are empty? Will you dare to state that any of those lost sisters you speak of enjoy going to bed with ten and twenty miserable men in one night and having their insides burn like they were branded? I will not rise to your reform bait. This is your society judge Atgeld; you helped to create it, and it is this society that makes the criminal… And if the workers unite to fight for food, you jail them too… No, so long as you preserve this system and its ethics, your jails will be full of men and women who choose life to death, and who take life as you force them to take it, through crime.

Lucy Parsons

She shouted this at the Governer of Illinois, John Altgeld, at a forum, while the upper class attendees booed and hissed at her. This was sometime during the 1890’s.
