We will seek justice for Brown’s family by petitioning for the immediate arrest of officer Darren Wilson and the dismissal of county prosecutor Robert McCullough. Groups that are part of the local Hands Up Don’t Shoot Coalition have already called for Wilson’s swift arrest, and some BLM riders also canvassed McCullough’s neighborhood as a way of raising the public’s awareness of the case.
We will help develop a network of organizations and advocates to form a national policy specifically aimed at redressing the systemic pattern of anti-black law enforcement violence in the US. The Justice Department’s new investigation into St Louis-area police departments is a good start, but it’s not enough. Our ride was endorsed by a few dozen local, regional and national organizations across the country – like the National Organization for Women (Now) and Race Forward: The Center for Racial Justice Innovation – who, while maintaining different missions, have demonstrated unprecedented solidarity in response to anti-black police violence. We hope to encourage more organizations to endorse and participate in a network with a renewed purpose of conceptualizing policy recommendations.
We will also demand, through the network, that the federal government discontinue its supply of military weaponry and equipment to local law enforcement. And though Congress seems to finally be considering measures in this regard, it remains essential to monitor the demilitarization processes and the corporate sectors that financially benefit from the sale of military tools to police.
We will call on the office of US attorney general Eric Holder to release the names of all officers involved in killing black people within the last five years, both while on patrol and in custody, so they can be brought to justice – if they haven’t already.
And we will advocate for a decrease in law-enforcement spending at the local, state and federal levels and a reinvestment of that budgeted money into the black communities most devastated by poverty in order to create jobs, housing and schools. This money should be redirected to those federal departments charged with providing employment, housing and educational services.

2 답변I get the Trayvon Martin controversy, but Brown was obviously committing a crime. The only argument is whether or not he should have been shot by the police.

37 답변Darren Wilson was found innocent in the court of law, and rightfully so. Pick someone who actually was wrongfully killed instead of a piece of shit that had it coming.

53 답변You are a disgrace. You want to destroy a mans career for what? Doing his goddamn job. If a policeman shoots a criminal then he's doing his job. And as your little "black lives matter", you need to take the log out of your eye before helping with the speck in your brothers. Translation: fix your own problems first. American blacks are the largest killers of American blacks. Maybe if you could stop killing each other you could actually improve the community. So if you people want to get a bigger slice of the American pie, you need to act. Not complain about how everyone is racist, do something. Use all the handouts you keep getting to get a higher education. Start businesses, but of course all of this is going to require that you get off your asses you pussy ass bitches! /rant I hate SJWs.

4 답변작성자: Steel0range 8/12/2015 5:44:43 PMHands up don't shoot was disproved 11 months ago. Brown's fingerprints and DNA were found on the inside of the driver's side door on wilsons squad car, as well as on his uniform, And on his gun, even INSIDE THE TRIGGER GUARD. BLACK eyewitnesses overturned their testimonies in the days following the incident, stating that Michael brown did not in fact, have his hands up, but rather struggled with Darren Wilson for his gun next to the open door of his squad car, then walked walked away, and when Wilson ordered him to stop, (which he was justified in doing as brown had committed offenses prior that night, not to mention resisting arrest attacking a police officer) he turned and charged at Wilson, who then shot brown, (again justified, as it was self defense). These are all accounts given by BLACK, EYEWITNESSES. Do your research before you condemn an innocent man. Darren Wilson is innocent, Michael Brown most certainly is NOT.

2 답변I think people are misled when they see 'Black Lives Matter'. The implicit message that this saying is trying to get across is simple: equal justice for black people. [b]Equal justice for black people - or, 'Black Lives Matter' - is not the same thing as 'Only Black Lives Matter.[/b] This is where people are going awry. Every day, we see people saying 'All Lives Matter' in response, but the reality is that [i]none[/i] of those people would be saying that if it weren't for the people who had to first start saying 'Black Lives Matter'. There's a reason for that. The reasoning is simple as well. I can put it like this. If I'm a police officer, and I just got a call about a store being robbed, I should go to that store to apprehend the criminals and save the store. When I get there, the storeowner of the shop next to the one being robbed starts yelling at me, "Hey! That store isn't the only one that needs protection - all of our stores need protection!" even though his store isn't being robbed by anyone at that time. That's what I feel the reasoning is when black people get angry when everyone else starts saying 'All Lives Matter'. Yes, all lives matter, but by saying that in place of 'Black Lives Matter' takes the spotlight off of the main problem at hand. And we all know that everything isn't as equal as we like to believe it is. Really. We all know this. It's been barely 50 years ago when the Civil Rights Act was passed. To say that the problems black people faced back then are entirely gone now is laughable. We can even look at the numbers - [url=this]http://www.propublica.org/article/deadly-force-in-black-and-white?utm_source=et&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=dailynewsletter#update-note[/url] analysis is a bit crude (read through it if you want to know why), but it's still considered a solid representative of the fact. According to Prof. David Klinger, "...the FBI data has serious shortcomings . But he also said the disparity... was so large, it was unlikely to have resulted solely from omissions in the FBI statistics." Also, (and I posted this on another topic), the FBI released documents detailing the fact that white supremacists have been joining the ranks of the police across the country. Realistically, we could sit here and look at numbers and documents and stuff, but the point is inherently clear: this country is not truly equal when dealing with black people. However subconscious or implicit this inequality is, it's there. Like I said earlier, it was barely 50 years ago when the civil rights act made everyone 'equal'. I'm not about to argue with you on 'race-baiting' and 'victim card' and all of that nonsense. I'm just giving my opinion.

1 답변1. Holder ain't DOJ director anymore, Lynch is 2. Police and many other people in America are fed up(you call it protest, we call it rioting) and will begin cracking down(try it in Baltimore again, you'll see what happens) 3. Go ahead, piss whites off, your worst was in LA after Rodney King, we have yet to do ours. 4. People like you make me sick, peaceful protest isn't yelling at police, throwing things and making slanderous comments(slander isn't protected under the first amendment and you can be sued for damages if the Plaintiff can claim you damaged their reputation) they create areas for protesters so their voice can be heard and if anything happens they see it better and arrest a single person instead of an entire group.
