FOURTH Ferguson activist dies under mysterious circumstances

[Serious]

@FromStLouis what's the sentiment in the city

 

[Serious]

I was watching his live stream when everything popped off. RiP

Right that was the moment I learned to really question everything presented on the news.

I literally watched shyt pop off on live stream one way, then saw nearly every print and news outlet shape the information in a manufactured pro law enforcement way.

I've got an idea why it's not stickied

I wish more threads like this, received more attention and stickied. 5 black men killed all connected by one commonality and it's glanced over. I hate to sound dejected but the brainwashing and need for entertainment values needs to be secondary- we should be demanding accountability.

Who's killing these people, the police?

 

[O³ (O cubed)]

Hmm, Michelle Obama says a couple lines 40+ page thread.

Another Ferguson activist dies, crickets.

 

[Indiglow Meta (R$G)]

Neutralizing all the real threats.

Why is this not stickied? We need answers. What's St. Louis' biggest journal? Maybe we can coordinate an effort to reach out to the editor?

The St. Louis Dispatch. But it needs to be addressed more than locally. Need to find out the editors of the New York Times, Washington Post, national media sources. some type of effort, if enough people got together to do a write up. This has been on my mind all week, getting some sort of campaign to garner attention, address the questions - they cant silence all of us. I hate the apathy about it. This is the type of news that needs to gain viral attention not some click and pass along type shyt.

People Think Ferguson Protestors Are Being Killed, Here's A Look At What's Going On
theyre trying to make it seem like isolated incidents - this is an article from 2017, 3 people were killed. Now in the course of the past year, adding another 3 to the list, and we're supposed to believe it's not related.

 

[Cabbage Patch]

this is not enough


shoutout to Dorner and Micah Johnson

Dorner didn't kill those people, and they burned him alive while he was trying to surrender.

All because he wanted to clear his name after being smeared for reporting police abuse in the LAPD.

Folk thought this was a game, "bounty hunter/military contractor" type whites were in the mix...

Even from across the ocean looking at this, it's plain as day these are assassinations.

There have been many activists fighting over other police deaths across the states, so why are the ones from Ferguson being specifically targetted? Is there some type of significance with Ferguson particularly?

 

[Cabbage Patch]

This isn’t a coincidence. These men are being targeted and the manner in which they’re dying is very telling. Shooting someone multiple times and setting them on fire is meant to make it look personal. It’s an attempt to throw suspicion towards it being some sort of gang thing or personal vendetta.

Someone brought out the Jim Crow playbook, then.

Who were the two people in the car who heard him rummaging in the backseat for a gun? Why aren't they identified? Because that usually only happens with cops.

There's protests for a few days and then all the outrage dies down; nothing gets done and there's no activity. In this case, there was a lot of negative fallout that had consequences for the police department, city council members, local government... DOJ investigation led to them basically overhauling the city.

Three years after Michael Brown's death, has Ferguson changed?
Three years after that highly publicized fatal encounter, Ferguson, at least by official appearances, is a dramatically different place.

The seven-member city council, which formerly had just one African-American, now holds three. A new black police chief was hired, and the small, once overwhelmingly white police department, has also seen a marked shift in color among its ranks.

The number of black officers here has more than doubled since 2014 — from four to 10 — as the number of white officers has declined by nearly half, from 48 to 26.

Oh OK thanks. That makes sense.
