*Note to Governor Jay Nixon: Curfew = SUNDOWNING to Black People! How About Arresting Darren WilsonPosted on August 16, 2014 by Ametia
Will someone tell Gov Jay Nixon people will be calm when the murderer is arrested? Its not rocket science.
Word! And the longer they hold off bringing charges against Darren Wilson, the more theyre complicit in further inciting the citizens of Ferguson.
Trying to cage the Ferguson folks in like animals via curfew is not the answer, Governor Nixon. The citizens of Ferguson dont need protection from each other, they need protection from the POLICE.

Deal with the looters and hooligans; theres no need to issue a curfew. But the FPD is inept in dealing with black folks as FULL HUMANS!
Its only when there is tension and anger they react to black folks and its by 1.Harrassing, profiling shooting-murdering, dehumanizing manner 2. issue that curfew, because its a means to control.

Is there some sort of gerrymandering or other political bs going on?

(83,882 posts)6. Thank you Cha.
I did an OP from 3 chics the other night and that pic was part of it. The privilege is out of control and condoned by many when it should be condemned.
Sadness...so much sadness.

Including accepting them as witnesses.
Now if someone WHITE steps forward and says, "I saw the whole thing!" and then LIES ABOUT IT they will claim THAT is a credible account. Even if someone else says they saw that white witness in Cucamonga at the time of the shooting.
