[link:|]
Redditt Hudson a former police officer with St Louis County police says Darren Wilson processed his own evidence. Reddit also says he was in the room when Ferguson police chief Tom Jackson told them, Darren Wilson had no knowledge of Michael Brown being involved in a store robbery before the encounter with Wilson.
Darren Wilson processed his own evidence? Theyre too corrupt to serve the people in the community. Disband Ferguson and St Louis County Police departments and start new to build trust. Police brutality, racism, harassment, mistrust and lies have left a gaping wound in the community thats been damaged beyond repair.
This entire process has been a farce, a mockery of justice. Judge Maura McShane, appoint a special prosecutor and convene another Grand Jury in the Darren Wilson case. Make this right.

InSane!

Totally avoidable escalations (unless we have completely stopped giving cops training to De-escalate situations).
Mix in paranoid fear with dehumanizing prejudices - and we do seem to be living in a science fictiony time.

(48,955 posts)a sorta "times they are a-changing" hope?
Perhaps the power of social media - rapid reposting of local stories suddenly going national/international.... suddenly focusing on these murders - because I don't think it is happening in more frequency in the summer/fall or 2014 - but due to the power of social media (which then forces a little more coverage in the corporate media) - gives even those of us for whom these situations are remote - like there is a siege going on.
And there IS a siege going on. It is horrific.
But a part of me believes that the power of voice starting to be given to those among us for whom the siege is daily, visceral, and real - and the power of raised awareness (the sense of vicarious siege) of growing numbers of voices... maybe - just maybe will lead us somewhere else? Somewhere not so dystopian?
Then again - I saw hope when watching the live-stream of first big Occupy march (when the cops trapped folks on the bridge). So take my little bit of optimism - with a huge grain of salt.

(34,648 posts)I think that it will not just be one issue, but a series of events that will cause the change. And yes, social media will be the entity of a sort of new revolution. People who once would have been ignored as a part of the 'unwashed masses' can now speak out.
These things have been going on since time immemorial. No one really knew how wide spread it was. Now we do. Now we know that we can get support from the billions of other nobodies. That is scaring the establishment. We are coming to a point where the people are going to remember that we have the power to get rid of anybody we choose.
