No Indictment in Ferguson causes #Mayhem




Live from Ferguson Missouri I present to you The Purge Anarchy!!!! #whoa

If you've been watching CNN, like I have, since the Grand Jury announcement last night  you have seen the images of the city in disarray. Looking like scenes right from a movie, Ferguson citizens took matters into their own hands after the decision was made not to indict Darren Wilson. The police officer shot and killed an unarmed teen Michael Brown back in August this year. While I don't condone violence and rioting is NOT the way I can't say that I don't feel the pain of Ferguson's people. I FEEL YOU! #blacklivesmatter #whatjustice


The Brown Family's Official Statement:
We are profoundly disappointed that the killer of our child will not face the consequence of his actions.
While we understand that many others share our pain, we ask that you channel your frustration in ways that will make a positive change. We need to work together to fix the system that allowed this to happen.
Join with us in our campaign to ensure that every police officer working the streets in this country wears a body camera.
We respectfully ask that you please keep your protests peaceful. Answering violence with violence is not the appropriate reaction.
Let's not just make noise, let's make a difference.

Although I am not surprised by the Grand Jury's decision, I still held on to hope. Hope that another black life lost wasn't in vain. You kind of got the feeling from the delays to prepare the city for the presss conference that it wouldn't end well. Not to mention all the police, national guards and FBI called onto the scene "in case" the people decided to #turnup.  I believe they knew what the verdict was and had to delay it's announcement to get Officer Williams and his family out of dodge. #ontheruntour #comingsoon #backtosquare1 #thepurge

Take a look of the chilling aftermath below:




Ferguson, Missouri (CNN) -- This is what Ferguson looked like Tuesday morning.
Shattered glass from looted stores covered the asphalt. Shell casings from unknown shooters littered the ground. And more than a dozen buildings, including stores owned by local residents, had been set ablaze.
As protesters hurled bottles, batteries and rocks at police, officers in riot gear responded by shooting bean bags and tear gas.
"This ain't Iraq. This is the United States," Demetric Whitlock yelled to a line of police officers on South Florissant Road, in front of the Ferguson Police Department.



How do you feel about the Grand Jury's decision?
