FERGUSON, Missouri Before Michael Browns death, all Taurean Russell wanted was to finish college, teach history and coach high school football. But that changed August 9, when photos of Browns lifeless body, shot by a cop and left sprawled in the street, kept appearing on social media.
I saw a dead body on my timeline. It kept appearing hour after hour and somebody said I hope somebody gets up and does something about it, said Russell, 30. Then I heard his mother on TV say, Why did they kill my son.
Those words triggered something in Russell. He rallied friends and they headed down to the Ferguson Police Department looking for answers. They didnt get any so they went back the next day and the day after.
Russell and others incensed by Browns killing and the lack of charges against Darren Wilson, the officer who shot Brown, have grown both more impatient and more organized. Theyve joined forces with established activist groups and other youth leaders from across the state and country, crafting a list of demands and studying policy, political science and past social movements.
You cant have patience, Russell said on a recent afternoon. We been stuck on the same page in history for the last 60 years, patience is gone. Local police came and said yall need to leave, we stayed. They shot tear gas, we stayed. They shot rubber bullets we stayed and got stronger. They gave us a curfew, we stayed all night.(continued)

Okay, but at the end of the day, what have you accomplished? More welfare? More handouts? Is that what a grown man should be living on?
No rebuilding the stores that were destroyed and equip all cops with Go-Pros on their chest. No government dinero to rebuild this part of town. Give the money to New Orleans.
“...all Taurean Russell wanted was to finish college, teach history and coach high school football.”
Not bad for a Crips gangster who had already been arrested as a juvenile for Second Degree Murder.
It’s been their problem forever...no discipline and no ethics. It’s why blacks fail again and again.
Now that the DOJ and the FBI have moved in, will we ever get an objective report of what happened? Probably not, more likely we will get a politically crafted, carefully edited report that can be used to inflame race relations, dismantle the local police department and support political murder charges against the officer.
you forgot to add the never ending election and re-election of left wing liberals who prey on their incompetence...what did Charles Barkley say? “the poor been voting demoKrat for 50 years and their still poor?”
Screaming for “justice” but can not wait for the investigation, can not wait for the grand jury, no “justice” must be NOW. These people are a lynch mob.
Uyghur, please! What you say is true, and we're tired of it, and we have no more patience, so why don't you abandon your ghetto culture, grow up and act like responsible adults?
“Trymaine?”
No thanks. I like open country where I can see them coming while they are still miles distant from me.
Ferguson going all political movement may reach just outside the city limits and the MSNBC audience, but not much further.
The gangsters will always be up for a movement, but most blacks have gotten past the 1930’s, and the Sharpton/Jackson “movement” style for enriching themselves while leaving their syncophant followers in the dirt, still jobless, uneducated, fatherless and always unchurched.
While I empathasize with Mr. Russell's demand for answers out of my own frustration with the "transparancy" of the reclusive Obama administration, it understandably takes time for the police to correctly fit the pieces of a crime puzzle together. This evidenced by the following interesting material which popped up today, weeks after the incident.
FR: Potentially Explosive On Scene Evidence
Political Power???
Blacks vote blindly for democrats 93%+
They are still on the plantation...
They must have opened a Ministry of Silly Names in the hood.
A party of beggers? What kind of clout does that get you?
So the Democrats are turning this against Republicans, getting both cops and rioters to complain - the former because of pay and the latter for welfare looting.
I guess she never heard of the Knockout Game.
Remember. Those suffering beatings as a result of the reaction to the lies spread by the MSM employees and the race-grievance industry should seriously consider civil lawsuits.
As retaliatory assaults accumulate because of Ferguson MSM and race-grievance industry lies keep in mind that
Here's some stats about interracial violence. This is information from DoJ annual surveys of crime victims. Emphasis on survey. They are not police and FBI records.
2008 was the last time the DoJ survey released the victim/offender by race data (Table 42). Gee I wonder why. Maybe the race data was a bit too honest. I think it shows that in general blacks out pace whites in the area of interracial violence.

These stats ended after 2008. I guess the Obama-Holder Dept. of Just Us and Our People did not want this kind of statistics known. Keep in mind that these are based upon annual surveys of the thousands of victims of crime. These are not from police or FBI records.
If anyone knows of DoJ annual survey Table 42 for the Obama years please let me know. I could not find them.

It never occurred to Tryaine that had there been no arson and wholesale looting, and hurling potential lethal objects at police, there would have been no rubber bullets, no real bullets, no gases of any kind and no deaths.
Political "power" is never legitimate when bought by violence by anyone. Not by police, not by looters and arsonists and Molotov hurling hoods.
Without learning civilized behavior, no "power" delusionally assumed to have been earned, through intimidation and blackmail, can be legitimized. Nor can mob rule ever be permanent.
So dream on Trymaine!
