Yeah, just like that bogus Trayvon Martin picture. I use that as a teaching point with some people. Don't believe everything you see on the Internet.

I didn't realize it was posted already.

I actually posted it here because I know that a few of you follow the case and would be able to tell if this video was genuine or not.

Speaking of Trayvon, George Zimmerman has been arrested on a aggravated assault charge.

U.S. preparing to sue Ferguson police over charges of racial bias

Classic case of glossing over. Of course the department is going to say "no, we won't make changes!" The fate of the people of Ferguson is in their hands. Register and vote.

Quote:
The U.S. Department of Justice is preparing to sue the Ferguson, Missouri, police department over allegations of racially discriminatory practices unless the police force agrees to make changes, CNN reported on Wednesday

The people of Ferguson have a great opportunity to make that city a bellwether for change.

If they go to the polls, vote McCulloch out of office put responsible people in positions of authority it can be a template for "HOW TO."

Ferguson city manager out after Justice Department report

Changes are ongoing in Ferguson. They're not being reported by any major news services that I've seen. I found it in Huffpost Black Voices.

I'm waiting too see or hear the results of the upcoming elections.

Ariana for president.

I think things have come to a point where shooting civilians has become something to think about, exercise caution. In the past the police would have turned out in force, armed to the teeth.

After more than 200 days of peaceful protest, demonstrations in Ferguson, Missouri took a turn for the worse with the shooting of two police officers Thursday morning.

Arrest Made In Connection To Ferguson Police Shooting

More from Ferguson.

I haven't been watching the news on a regular basis of late. I've grown weary of the same-o same-o.

Have any events I've been posting been in any segments of daily important news?

http://abcnews.go.com/US/arrest-made-ferguson-shooting-injured-police-officers/story?id=29652783

I just went to those websites and found the articles in a matter of seconds. I'm not sure where you got the idea that this stuff isn't being covered in the media. The FBI report was all over the media.

My bad AH. I'll admit to being out of touch of late. For personal reasons I've become a bit of a recluse. Maybe it's time to rejoin the herd.

It's a start. They got out and voted.

I'm pleased to see Ferguson's people taking responsibility in charting their political and police abuse future. I've said Ferguson's future is in the hands of it's citizenry.

I have angst. Will those elected fall prey to the almighty dollar and sink into the abyss of self serving? I verily pray they don't.

This is a city that can be a template for elections in other cities with similar problems.

Ferguson's on national display.

I'm troubled by the events in Ferguson. I don't understand what the "Oath Keepers" are doing there, armed. They are White. What's their agenda?

Oath Keepers. I posted something about them recently. They are paranoid, conservative law enforcement and military types. I'm not sure what they would be doing there. Basically, they are afraid of a left wing coup d'état using the police and military.

Edit: I looked it up. They claimed to be protecting some reporter from InfoWars. That's the show that broke the Jade Helm story. So basically you had some far right lunatics milling around, hoping that someone would stop InfoWars from reporting the truth. It would be comical under different circumstances.

Thanks AH, I meant "Oath Keepers." LINK Man, if the New Panther Party in Ferguson were to walk the streets dressed like that all hell would break loose.

This doesn't make sense to me. I believe it's going to open the county to law sits that wouldn't be filed if the charges are dropped.

I see this a arrogance on the part of the County.
