Young Men In Ferguson

Many have said they come from all over the country to show solidarity with Michael Brown Jr.'s
community.
One young man was from Arkansas.
One young man was from Wisconsin.
One young man was from St. Louis. He was a white person.
They all seemed well-behaved; but they emphasized, "This is not just about Mike Brown. This is about all of us. They are killing us all over this country."
They're right, you know? They're right.
At this moment the police are attempting to enforce dumb orders.
'Leave peaceful people alone' would be a good motto for police to adopt.
Stop telling people they are unlawful would be a good practice.
Find the bad actors if you want them.
Then you won't have to treat people as though they were ALL a mob.
You're protecting no one, in the main, but yourselves
And you're causing all sorts of trouble with your war machine look..
So what are you doing there, then?
First you kill people; then you occupy them. You're a destructive cluster. Sorry.
Again, try this: Come if and when you're called.
And calm down.
