The Day After, Pt 1 (11/25/14): Ferguson begins to rebuild. We stand with you. Prayers, blessing, and peace to the residents and protesters in Ferguson. #staywoke #farfromover
They aren’t showing this. They won’t. Especially since the police aren’t helping to clean or rebuild the community is
Hey, this post may contain sexually explicit content, so we’ve hidden it from public view.
know your fucking rights
it is completely legal for you to film/photograph a police officer in public, no matter what state you’re in. this is a first amendment right.
a police officer may not confiscate, hold, or even look at your footage without a warrant. demand one. that is your right as a citizen
police do not have a right to delete your footage or photographs. this is evidence tampering and it is a felony. they cannot take your sd card/camera. this is obstruction and theft and it is completely illegal.
you can be ordered to cease and desist if you are legitimately tampering with a police officer’s investigation. demand to know why.
if you are stopped, immediately ask if you are free to go. if the officer says ‘no’, it is a detention and you have the right to ask what crime you are committing or what crime the officer has probable cause to believe that you have or will commit. this is required for detention.
do not physically resist an officer. it is now clear that this begets violence and arrest. if they put their hands on you, this is assault. take note.
know your rights.
Nah hey, this is the home of Darren R. Wilson, not the one you’re talking about (Darren D. Wilson). Leave him alone.

Tumblr followers please boost and reblog THANKS!!
I shouldn’t even have to say this. I came on to this blog this evening because all of the news tonight has upset me and I wanted a distraction, but this is one of the most disgusting things that I have seen all evning.
The events in Ferguson are not a tool for you to use in communicating between your fucking Homestuck character.
Mike Brown’s death is not a roleplay plot.
Since I have made this blog, I have seen people incorporate natural disasters, terrorism attacks, and dictatorship into their plots because for some reason they think it is appropriate and gives their character talking points.
I do not care who you are.
That is disrespectful.
That is absolutely disgusting.
Fucking find something else to talk about through the mouth of your fictional persona, or make a personal.
no.
no.
actually reblog this. i saw it happen in other fandoms, on my other rp blog, and i am going to be damned if this keeps happening.
DO. NOT. WATCH.
Do not support this in any form or fashion. It is disgraceful enough he wasn’t indicted and is 400,000 dollars richer, but he gets an opportunity to “tell his side of the story” while Ferguson burns and Mike Brown’s body is cold. I’m trying to tell you, ABC profits tremendously from this interview, don’t line their pockets.
My fucking head is going to explode.
"Native American" names?
Why don’t you just label the entire month of November as “promote racial stereotypes and underlying mysticism” month and stop pretending any of this shit is grounded in the idea of realistic education or fact.
My fucking Native American name is Chamberly. My son’s Native American name is Jaiden. Don’t come at me with the spirit animal bullshit while your curriculum completely ignores the real time suffering of an entire population of people.
Let me tell my native friends Kevin, Jeremy, Courtney, savannah, Ryan, Ron, and Mikey that their names are wrong apparently
I still remember this fuckshit vividly over 20 years later, but when I was in primary school we had to do something like this and the teacher wanted to give us all “Indian names” and write them down on these stupid little headbands with construction paper feathers and I had written my Blackfeet name on the headband, misunderstanding the project cause I’m a fucking child. And my teacher comes around and gets mad at me for “ruining” my headband and I didn’t understand the problem and she says I’m supposed to write down my Indian name
And I said I did
And she says “that’s not an Indian name” which I can only assume now she said as much because it wasn’t English and I argued with her, saying that yeah it totally was because my nana had given it me and why was she even mad that I already had a name?
And the teacher told me “You’re not Indian”
And I said “Yes, I’m Blackfeet” and this fool ass woman laughs at me and says that’s a “made up” name and that I’m not Indian because, and I quote “You don’t look Indian and most of them are dead or on reservations. You’re not dead or on a reservation, are you?”
I was a smart kid, right? I could read by age three and I started school two years early so I was two years younger than everyone in my class and I was fucking five when she said this to me and I still remember it like it was three days ago.
I went into hysterics. I was crying so hard that she sent me to the principal’s office because I was scared all my NDN family was going to die now and I was sad that I’m not NDN unless I’m on a reservation. Like? This grown ass White woman had me locked in an identity crisis before I was even allowed to stay up past 19h30 on a weekday
Like, this shit is not fucking cute. Don’t fucking do this racist bullshit. When we have names in our own language, we don’t just fucking pick them out of a hat at random. There is history and Medicine in people’s names and these things are parts of our identity—not to mention not every Native person has a name specific to their Nation’s culture
It’s almost 2015, why the fuck is this still happening?
