(4,407 posts)The people of that town are taught that they are criminals. Michael Brown may have not been a model citizen, and why would that be? He's surviving in a place where the cops make people into criminals as a source of income, and from that picture, it starts at a very early age.

Some people might actually start to have empathy even and once you go down that road there is no turning back soon we might even have grand kids asking what racism used to be....

I hate the way they spin these things.

One of my all-time favorite songs. But I think this part is appropriate now:
Our cities have turned into jungles
And corruption is stranglin' the land.
The police force is watching the people
And the people just can't understand.
