BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) — Stop. Hey, what's that sound? Protest songs are taking their place alongside chants of "I can't breathe" and "Hands up, don't shoot" as demonstrators raise their voices to condemn the deaths of unarmed black men at the hands of police. There's something happening here.

What brilliant lyrics, the cadence is genius.
Folks, we have another Pete Seeger/Mozart in our midst...
Let me guess - the writer is in her early 60’s and spends a great deal of her time pining for 1969.
I ASSUME that putting Pete Seeger and Mozart together was a joke, as in total opposites. It's my read that 2000 years from now MOZART will still be played and sung and Pete Seeger will evince only "Pete Who?"
Just a guess.
Im looking at “whats goin down”
and its a fracking joke. lol.
Oy.
Maybe they should sing brown’s ‘rap’ songs instead..
I can think of a whole bunch of counter protest songs:
“Stop Robbing My Store, or I’ll Shoot You”
“Obey The Law And The Cops Are Your Friends.”
“Real Men Help Their Wives Raise Their Children.”
foreclosure auctions ???
cant breathe....I cant leave???
EXPOSED:..... Eric Holder Used Taxpayer Dollars to Stoke Anti-Police Hatred in Ferguson
Thursday, December 11th, 2014
The violent protests in Ferguson angered Americans all around the nation.
Now it turns out that those same angry Americans may have helped pay for them.
Department of Justice records obtained late last month by Judicial Watch in response to an Aug. 14 Freedom of Information Act request indicate that the department spent at least $15,000 sending eight Community Relations Service agents to the troubled Missouri town.
More troubling is the fact that the agents were dispatched upon the request of “the far-left NAACP,” according to Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton.
The NAACP complained about police violence in Ferguson, describing officers as “an invading army” on a website related to the Aug. 9 shooting of Michael Brown by Ferguson Police officer Darren Wilson, who has since resigned from the force.
The site also demanded that “justice for Michael is served,” according to Judicial Watch.
Ferguson Mayor James Knowles reportedly said that CRS agents were training demonstrators.
And their own records indicate that the government agents took part in at least one demonstration.
“An August 16 expense claim is for ‘rain ponchos for demonstration site,’” Judicial Watch reported. “August 16, 2014, was a day of terrible rioting in Ferguson.”
Fitton said that this evidence demonstrates that administration claims to be objective with regard to the race riots are not credible.
“The CRS and the Justice Department under Eric Holder have shown little inclination to enforce the law in a race-neutral manner,” he said. “Justice Department employees dropping everything to rush to the side of the far-left NAACP speaks volumes as to what CRS is up to.
“Given Obama’s and Holder’s incendiary racial remarks on Ferguson and criticism of the police, no one is fooled by Justice Department protestations that its taxpayer-funded community organizers in Ferguson are neutral,” Fitton continued. “It is no surprise that rioting worsened with increased involvement of the racially-biased Justice Department.”
Moreover, Fitton said, Holder’s Department of Justice has violated the FOIA law with regard to disclosing its full involvement in the Ferguson protests.

“Stop. Hey, what’s that sound?”
Was written about the Sunset Strip Riots when police clamped down on white teeny boppers staying out all night on the Sunset Strip.
Retrocon history says it was about the JFK/MLK/RFK assassinations but that wasn’t the case.
More like pining for 1919.
