Michael Brown Mike Brown Shooting News Rev AL Sharpton

At The “Unity Rally for Justice for Michael Brown…”

In a packed congregation at the Greater Grace Church in Ferguson Missouri, Rev. AL Sharpton along with the parents of Michael Brown and other civil rights leaders, held a  “Unity Rally for Justice for Michael Brown” meeting, focused on getting justice for the slain 18 year old murdered by police officer Darren Wilson.

“These parents, they’re not going to cry alone … we have had enough,” he said. Brown’s shooting will be a “defining moment on how this country deals with policing,” Sharpton said. “Michael Brown’s going to change this town.”

“We need to thank him for the change he’s going to make,” said Missouri State Highway Patrol Capt. Ron Johnson, who has been put in charge of security in Ferguson, where nights of unrest, looting, and confrontations with police have broken out since Brown’s death. A curfew instated by Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon would hold for a second night Sunday and last from 12 a.m. to 5 a.m., according to the State Highway Patrol.

Before the rally closed, Sharpton had the crowd repeat after him as he said: “I pledge, with all that I am capable of, to do my duty to stand for justice and for peace, and let Michael Brown be a point in history where we stopped devaluing the lives of people.”

I'm just tired of the lies and nonsense coming from the GOP, so this is my little contribution to combat the nonsense!
