melaniecervantes:Mike Brown, a recent high school gradutate, was on his way to visit his grandmother in Ferguson, Missouri when he was shot to death police. He was unarmed.We live in societies that increasingly ramp up their militarized police forces for the purpose of keeping people in a particular social order that benefits a very narrow section of society.Modern day policing is rooted in slave patrols who in the eighteenth century were used police plantations and hunt down runaway slaves. Slave patrols didn’t need a jury trial or indictment to maim or kill runaway slaves.Enough is enough. We should be tired of this shit. It’s been hundreds of years of the same impunity. #blacklivesmatter #justiceformikebrown #acab -- source link
