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.

He is lucky all he got was arrested. I mean like people could see that and start thinking man Mike Brown wasn't much older than that. 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....

How about, "peaceful protests marred by a few violent incidents have been held every night..."

I hate the way they spin these things.

I so hope she doesn't yet fully understand the awful racism of Ferguson. She's so young. I hope she is still a little innocent. Her eyes look sad, though.

We can't fight alone against the monster.

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.
