Captain Ron Johnson At Greater Grace


Captain Johnson is telling us he has to go into that Ferguson Police Station at night to listen
to a bunch of oakie doaks using the "N" word.
Captain Johnson wants to let us know what he cannot tell us.
Captain Johnson wants us to know he was appointed to do the work the ineffective can no longer do.
Captain Johnson wants us to know he may be the one man in that blue uniform who is sorry for what
happened to Michael Brown and his family.
Captain Johnson apologized to Michael Brown's family.
Captain Johnson said nothing about a phony "emergency".
Captain Johnson made no mention of some manufactured "curfew".
Captain Johnson had to let us know he is one of us.
Captain Johnson let us know who put a blood stain on his uniform; and that it wasn't Michael Brown.
Captain Johnson wanted us to know he has a black son.
Captain Johnson wanted us to know his son lives black culture.
Captain Johnson let us know his boy wears sagging jeans.
Those who don't like it- black or white, mind your own business.
Captain Johnson let us know his boy wears his cap to the side.
Those of you who don't like it- black, white, or Geraldo Rivera- mind your own business.
Michael Brown Jr. wasn't wearing a hoody.
Don't support murder. Just mind your own business.
Captain Johnson let us know his boy has tattoos.
No plantation-minded NFL owner gets to ask Captain Johnson's son about his body art.
Captain Johnson hasn't said one word about his son's discipline.
Captain Johnson hasn't offered a word to the atheists Paul Ryan loves about his son's work ethic.
Still, he wants us to know his son has a right not to be gunned down in city streets.
Captain Johnson is not only a man of the blue uniform a man of the African American community.
I, for one, thank him for his apology to Michael Brown Jr.s parents, and family.
Mike Brown Jr. brings to mind the reported last words of Lonnie Bryd Jr. who was killed over fifty years ago in the wake of the assassination of Medgar Evers: "What in the world did I do to deserve
 this?"
