to my fellow white people who are protesting tonight
remember that this isn’t our fight.
it’s not white children being gunned down in the street. we’re here to support. do not speak out of turn, don’t try to steer the protest, don’t speak over the people who are at greatest risk of being shot by cops, don’t voice your white opinions unless asked directly. cooperate with protest organizers, don’t lecture people, don’t try to wrestle your way into leadership positions. stay in your lane. thank you.
On August 9, 2014, Brown, an unarmed black 18-year old, was shot and killed by Wilson, who is white. The shooting led to demonstrations, confrontations with police, and some looting and violence.
And it only takes 9 people agreeing to make a decision, what a coincidence.
^ Seriously, the way grand juries work in Missouri is only 9 people have to agree to pass the decision.
Protect and serve,
That’s a lie,
You don’t care when black kids die.
I’ve noticed some people are still confused about what the Ferguson grand jury is actually making a decision on.
The grand jury is only deciding “if there is probable cause to believe that [Darren] Wilson committed a crime, and if so, what charge.”
The grand jury is NOT deciding whether or not Darren Wilson is guilty.
They are deciding whether Darren Wilson should be indicted, NOT convicted.
The generalization of black people has led to the murder of them by police with impunity.
The generalization of white people has led to…increase sales in pumpkin spice lattes
