Drusilla ,'Conversations with Dead People'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Ferguson update for those not glued to Twitter:
Police are firing tear gas at peacefully protesting families and children hours before the midnight curfew. Media are being threatened by police. Private autopsy report has been released showing that the kill shot came through the top of Mike Brown's skull.
They executed that child and don't care how many more people (mostly of color) they hurt, kill, or detain. This is not protecting or serving. This is savagery.
Captain Johnson, he of the Missouri Highway Patrol, who walked among protesters on Thursday is now arresting journalists for no cause. There are no good guys, no saviors out there in authority.
Jesus.
Nora, I can't find anything about the autopsy report other than he died of gunshot wounds. Do you have a link?
God. I just can't with this.
Christ almighty. What do they even think they can gain with this? I don't understand! What's the POINT?
The pre-curfew abrupt shift to tear gassing without warning is suspiciously close to the time the autopsy report was released. Changing the narrative.
Y'all know that the cops who shot the unarmed black folks fleeing Katrina levee floods on the Danziger Bridge just had their convictions overturned a few months ago, right?
The point is preserving their power.
OK, I'm going to bed. But will leave you with this local news tidbit: Man shot in head during traffic stop Monday; NOPD never publicly disclosed shooting
Stopping now. Hoping to wake up tomorrow in a decent society. Preparing to be disappointed.
