Listen to the love as the "animals" are hunted down in Ferguson
At least one cop called the protesters in Ferguson "animals." Though there are always exceptions to rules, it is obvious by what has happened in Ferguson, that is the view of the majority of cops that were "keeping the peace" during the first days of protest. Unfortunately, those are the same people that rule Ferguson on a daily basis.
The team from TWIBnation recorded what happened when arriving in Ferguson. It is the most powerful recording I have heard throughout the entire time of unrest since Michael Brown was shot down and his body left out in the street for over four hours. The power of the love from the "animals" can be felt while they are being treated like bugs being sprayed by Raid. It is something that everyone should listen to.
Ferguson Dispatch: Gassed (Snippet) | #TWIBnation:
With Captain Johnson and his department replacing Jackson and his department, we saw the situation slowly become less volatile. But the use of tear gas was repeatedly justified by Captain Johnson. The use of rubber bullets continued. Both of these weapons are lethal. "Less lethal" is not ever an excuse to use them on civilians, most of whom were peaceful protesters. Some of whom were not even protesting but were peacefully on their own property.
The tear gas, thrown without regard to whom was around, is banned in war. It is a chemical weapon with known possible lasting damage. Rubber bullets kill. It is obvious by the repeated statements by Captain Johnson that he has done no research or has any idea how dangerous the use of tear gas is. I don't believe he was lying when making the statements. He just didn't take the time to learn how horrible what he was doing is. That shows a lack of caring, concern or compassion about the community he was charged with protecting.
This audio, this team of good, young, beautiful people and the people of Ferguson caught on the tape, is filled with love. It is in direct conflict with the horror they face, the war they are caught in.
I want to thank the people of TWIBnation for sharing this.
