Ferguson Police Kills Citizen, Protects Killer’s Identity

Who was there to protect the innocence of a black teenager walking on the street in Ferguson Missouri? That’s what he did. That’s what started the process that ended his life. He walked on the street, and he was shot multiple times by police for doing that.

Michael Brown’s innocence and his life were taken by a barrage of bullets fired by a police officer and now that police officer’s guilt is being protected by the Ferguson Police Department.

Police said death threats prompted them to withhold the name of the officer, who was placed on administrative leave after fatally shooting 18-year-old Michael Brown in Ferguson, where the incident has stoked racial tension, rallies and a night of looting.

Investigators have released few details, saying only that a scuffle unfolded after the officer asked Brown and another teen to get out of the street. At some point, the officer’s weapon fired inside a patrol car, police said.

“The local authorities have put themselves in a position — hiding names and not being transparent — where people will not trust anything but an objective investigation,” Sharpton said during a news conference in St. Louis where he was joined by Brown’s parents.

He also echoed pleas for peaceful protests by the NAACP and Brown’s father, Michael Brown Sr., who told the crowd: “I need all of us to come together and do this right. … No violence.”

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