First of all if it is true that Michael Brown stole some cigarillos from a variety store, it has no bearing on the incident with the white policeman. There is a video taken by a witness who recorded the policeman who murdered him walking back and forth while Brown's body lay on the street. He did not show any evidence of having his "eye socket broke" . Moreover, as Dr. Baden stated there is no official report of this policeman being injured. And, third, there are four eye witnesses who stated that the policeman provoked this incident.
Murdered for Jaywalking
If Brown was just jaywalking in the street, he could have blew his horn or ignored him if he was not impeding traffic. One of the eyewitness said that he told Brown to get the f....k out of the street and then grabbed Brown by the neck and then pulled his gun. Brown then pulled away, ran, and was caught up to by the policeman and then shot six times. This bull rushing the policeman argument is just stupid. No one with four bullet in his body and no weapon of any kind is a threat to anyone. Instead of shooting him two more times in the head, he should have called an ambulance and according to Dr. Baden, Brown could still be alive. This cop intended to kill him.
Racism is Alive and Well
If you don't think that racism is alive and well in this country, notice how the white people in that town has raised over $400,000 for the white policeman. If a Black policeman has murdered a white teenager in a similar incident, you know as well as I do that they would not have been raising money for him. And don't forget how white folks raised money for the murderer of Trayvon Martin. And, finally if the policeman was wearing a body camera, he would not have shot Brown at all because he would have been instantly incriminated.
Stop Marching. Become Politically Powerful
In my opinion, the Black residents of Ferguson, Missouri must begin to become more politically sophisticated. They must organize themselves; identify a mayoral candidate from within their community; get the individual elected; replace the entire police department; and, finally establish a citizen review board with the power to fire policemen who use excessive force and charge them criminally. If the policemen don't want to work under these conditions, then it is a direct reflection on their character and they can go and apply somewhere else.
Again, the Black residents of Ferguson must quit marching in the street and use their numbers to become politically powerful. Afterwards future incidents such as the Michael Brown's murder will
become almost non-existent.
