The Ferguson, Missouri thread

[Acevalefor]

Errr... smoke actually is how you calm angry bees.

Late, but once again, this was a response to what several of the livestreamers were bitching about. They were screaming at the police whining about the use of smoke and gas. That is exactly the right thing to use to disperse the crowds.

Al Sharpton planning marches ! Get ready people !

[tyven]

wish he would march into traffic

[wipers]

To summarize Sharpton's speech:

[notorious bum]

I knew Sharpton was going to announce some shit like that. I saw people tweeting his remarks like he is some kind of relevant leader. Let the co-opting begin.

[Dimmauk]

we have black friday though

All the thrills of looting minus the free stuff and getting shot with rubber bullets.

So how do you keep a protest of more than 1,000 people civil and peaceful when it's ad hoc?

[Korietsu]

The amount of cognitive dissonance in this thread is astounding.

https://twitter.com/Dart_Adams getting into some Boston riots history lessons after going-in on the powerless mainstream artists when it comes to the need for conscious, political music.

This is where your indifference originates; the lack of knowledge about the people's history of America turns into continued consent of what the State can get away with, disgust towards rioting and destruction of property, rather than injustice that occurs daily.

For some perspective, here are pictures of white people rioting over sprots and, occasionally, pumpkins.

damn day, this tired argument from august? you are better than nynja level. i know you are

thats a personal attack, I wont stand for it.

I said it earlier in the police thread. Everyones story of accounts is different, which works in the cops favor.

Remember this? And then it was followed up with "youre a fucking terrible poster, you should kill yourself, you're the leader of the KKK" and whatever else. When the fucking witness accounts are "I saw him put a gun to Browns temple and unload a full clip at point blank range", what do you expect the result to be?!?

Protestors marching on the highway, buses full of riot cops on their way to intercept.

[Salodin]

They've been marching on the hwy since the conference, is this round two or has it been going on sporadically all day?

"That feeling that most of us had yesterday when we were listening to the decision, that feeling in your stomach, that unsettling feeling like there’s nothing we can do — that is what injustice feels like. We have to remember that the folks on the ground feel that same way but they felt this for a long time. This is not a media event, this is life for people in the black community in urban areas. This is life for people in Ferguson. And so, yes, people are upset. People are acting out. People are disrupting the status quo. People want to shut it down. And frankly, I think that they should.

We should be thinking about the folks in Ferguson’s pro-democracy protesters, as anti-structural racism protesters. Because when you think about what they’re challenging on that big a scale, we know that a grand jury decision in one way or another is not when a solve the structural racism problem."
