Protesters call for justice on eve of first anniversary of Brown death
Pausing along the route at a permanent memorial for his son, Michael Brown Sr. said, “Miss you”. “We have an evidentiary presentation that is going to be entirely different from what you’ve heard already”, Gray said.
“They were really in our have to deal with, however i didn’t reply”, said Ferguson police Sergeant Dominica Fuller, dressed for Friday evening’s police do the job in a polo tube top manner keywords “society involvement group” as opposed to the human body protect and rise up helmets usual in the upheaval using the demise of 18-year-old Michael Brown on August nine, 2014.
Organizers of Sunday’s events say their aim is to keep alive a national movement fueled by the police killing of Brown and other unarmed black men in U.S. cities including New York, Cincinnati, Baltimore and North Charleston, South Carolina. As the parade began, he took an armful of stuffed animals and placed them in the middle of the street where his son died.
“It could easily be me or one of my kids out who could have got shot by that police officer, so I’m out here showing that support”, said Harper.
On Saturday, demonstrators marched in the streets of Ferguson and called for justice before Sunday which marks the first death anniversary. Several protests and a Saturday parade were peaceful, punctuated by chants like “Hands up!”
The police presence was limited mostly to officers at intersections diverting traffic away from the parade.
Brown is devoting his life now to his Chosen For Change foundation. He seems to be more interested in defending illegal immigrants, gays and lesbians, pop star Beyonce, and his fundraising more than the core group of voters that got him elected twice. “We’re all in this together”. “Every set that was out here, everybody who had problems with anybody – it squashed all of that”. “We just want, as African Americans, to be treated fairly and to be given the same advantages”.
On Saturday, they marched from the scene of the shooting to Brown’s grave site and ended at Normandy High school, from which Brown had graduated days before his death.
“People should not underestimate what a significant shift it will be to remove from the resume of police officers the responsibility of being revenue agents and turn that back to what their profession has designed them to be”, Nixon said.
Michael Brown’s father, also named Michael, told reporters he was working hard at “keeping my son’s life still around”. On Saturday, as a crowd marched for miles, police monitoring the demonstration handed out water bottles and popsicles to the protesters.
“I lost my boy”.
The service will be the culmination of a weekend of protest and remembrance for African American Brown, who was shot dead by white former Ferguson policeman Darren Wilson. We need to increase the age of recruitment to 25, as that’s when people develop emotional intelligence. “Ain’t nothing been accomplished for me”, said Brown.
Michael Brown’s family has already urged peace, but with a protest movement that is clearly splintered, the Brown family is no longer its sole voice.
Ferguson and St. Louis city officials say they are planning for disruptions, but nothing on the scale of the damage inflicted after the grand jury did not indict Officer Wilson.
