Ferguson, MO:

No Time to “Calm Down”—Time to Step Up the Struggle

When the police killed Michael Brown in Ferguson, MO—outside St. Louis—on August 9, it could have been just another “justifiable homicide.” It could have been one more time the police murdered a Black man FOR NOTHING and walked away celebrating. It could have been one more time the whole power structure gave murdering police a pat on the back, maybe even a promotion.

But not this time god dammit! People stood up!
