No Justice, No Peace (11/14/14): It’s been an explosive day in “Darren Wilson” news. Most info we’ve gotten about him so far, to be honest. Here’s what you need to be caught up:
You read that right: Wilson will immediately return to duty at the Ferguson PD if/when he is not indicted. #staywoke #farfromover
Black radio stations are being silenced. Wake up, ya’ll. The government ain’t messing around.
A selection of tweets from jessehimself talking candidly about human decency, social justice and racism today on twitter.
So, um, you’d think people would be a bit more bothered about the fact St Louis is essentially a police state right now.
This is scary, why isn’t anybody upset about this? What the hell is wrong with people, when will yall wake up?
Shaun King tweets about how Ferguson has been preparing for the announcement from the grand jury. Things are looking ominous.

No Justice, No Peace (11.9.14): The State of Missouri has dedicated weapons of war to the city of Ferguson in anticipation of the grand jury decision for Michael Brown’s killer, Darren Wilson.
Does this look right to you? Military weapons ready to be used on it’s own citizens? You can be the most racist fuck in existence, if you think the same can’t happen to your town one day, you’re a bigger idiot than I can possibly fathom. Demand justice for the people of Ferguson! #staywoke #farfromover
Darren Wilson is still free and still on paid administrative leave.
3 MONTHS and people are still calling for the arrest of Darren Wilson.

Full recap once I get back to my laptop, but seriously, the police are ridiculous as fuck with this VonDerrit Myers story. Just admit it: your racist vigilante brother in arms gunned down this kid in the street.
White people will believe a man was wearing a cloaked hoody, jumped out an invisible bush and fired 3 shots at a cop from a sandwhich before they believe racism still exists
As the nation waits for possible charges to be brought against Darren Wilson, the police officer who killed Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., Brown’s mother may be facing charges of her own.
Leslie McSpadden has been accused of leading others to attack and steal money from a group selling “Justice for Mike Brown” merchandise. If charged, McSpadden could face felony armed-robbery charges, reports the New York Daily News.
One of the people included in the group that was attacked was McSpadden’s former mother-in-law, Pearlie Gordon. Gordon claims that she was knocked down by the group that McSpadden led. In total, roughly $2,000 in merchandise and cash was taken by the group.
“You can’t sell this s—t,” Gordon claims McSpadden told her during the altercation.
The Ferguson, Mo., Police Department is currently investigating these claims and will then decide whether to bring charges against McSpadden.
This whole story seems rotten and manufactured as hell, but I swear to god, if they arrest Mike Brown’s mother before Mike Brown’s killer, I’m going to lose my shit. #staywoke
That’s an illegal abuse of power, by the way.
But sure, these people have nothing to hide.
not seeing many posts about Ferguson on my dash anymore. If your anger at the tumblr update is currently more intense than that of Ferguson and Darren Wilson you may want to consider refocusing on the bigger picture.

Mike Brown’s Mom Is Taking Her Son’s Case to the UN in Geneva
Lesley McSpadden, the mother of the 18-year-old boy whose death at the hands of a Ferguson police officer in August sparked weeks of protests, is going to Geneva, Switzerland next month to speak about her son and other victims of police brutality in front of the United Nations.
The trip — which was recently made public by organizers and promoted under the tagline “Ferguson to Geneva” — is meant to make a case, to as wide an audience as possible, that both Brown’s killing and the militarized police response to protesters demanding justice for him, are a matter of human rights.
