Police Kill Unarmed Teen In Ferguson, Missouri

After a brawl with the police, two brothers are charged with assaulting officers but they say they're the real victims and have the proof to prove it: the whole fight was caught on video.
It all started when Tywonn Mitchell, 20, and Naybon Moore, 26, were driving to Grandy's Coney Island back in May. They say that's when Detroit police officers began profiling them, tailing their car.

The brothers pulled into the restaurant and the police car backed away, so they thought everything was fine.
But then the officers followed them into the Coney Island, and asked to see their IDs. The brothers asked to know what they had done wrong, (as you can hear in the video), both of them were aware of their rights. One is studying criminal justice and the other is studying law. That's when one of the brothers flipped his hands, and it turned into a full-on brawl.

The brothers were taken into custody. Fast forward three months now, and they are charged with assault and battery on a police officer, obstruction of justice, and resisting arrest.
But they claim, they are the real victims here.Detroit Police Department tells us, when the incident happened the officers admitted they used force and a command level investigation was conducted.The officers say when they were investigating inside the Coney Island, one of the officers extended his hand and asked one of the brothers to step back, but he slapped the officers hand in return. At that point the police officer responded with force. The use of force was deemed appropriate and reasonable after intensive review of the video and interviewing the brothers.

UPDATE: CHARGES ARE DROPPED!.. Why arent the police fired?? and this is what we deal with on a daily basis

lols at ISIS getting into this. "we hear you and we will help you if you accept Islam and reject corrupt man made laws like democracy and pledge your allegiance to Caliph Abu Bakr and then we will shed our blood for you and send our soldiers that don't sleep, whose drink is blood, and their play is carnage"

Yikes. Not the best company to have support you. Even though there is nothing the protesters could have done to prevent that message from being sent. Holding up signs aint gonna help the perception though, The whole world wants to throw their own propaganda into the mix with this one.

Odds are that "protestor" with the Isis sign is probably some sort of agent riling up the propaganda train, If i see a report on mainstream media about ISIS & Mike Brown supporters i'm gonna lose my ****.

That's what I'm thinking, I said before that it seems like they're trying to connect black Americans to ISIS so I wouldn't put it past them to sneak an agent in there holding up an ISIS sign.
 
It's opportunists man just like a lot of the looters and arsonists. All the crazies come out when they know media will be looking.
 
ISIS has killed more brown people than the entire US police force.,...

Stop posting their propaganda in here
 
In Ferguson, a wound bleeds.

For 108 days, we have been in a state of prolonged and protracted grief. In that time, we have found community with one another, bonding together as family around the simple notion that our love for our community compels us to fight for our community. We have had no choice but to cling together in hope, faith, love, and indomitable determination to capture that ever-escaping reality of justice.

After 108 days, that bleeding wound has been reopened, salt poured in, insult added to the deepest of injury. On August 9th, we found ourselves pushed into unknown territory, learning day by day, minute by minute, to lead and support a movement bigger than ourselves, the most important of our lifetime.We were indeed unprepared to begin with, and even in our maturation through these 108 days, we findourselves reinjured, continually heartbroken, and robbed of even the remote possibility of judicialresolution. A life has been violently taken before it could barely begin. In this moment, we know,beyond any doubt, that no one will be held accountable within the confines of a system to which wewere taught to pledge allegiance. The very hands with which we pledged that allegiance were not enough to save Mike in surrender.

Once again, in our community, in our country, that pledge has returned to us void.

For 108 days, we have continuously been admonished that we should “let the system work,” and wait to see what the results are.

The results are in.

And we still don’t have justice.

This fight for the dignity of our people, for the importance of our lives, for the protection of our children, is one that did not begin Michael’s murder and will not end with this announcement. The ‘system’ you

have told us to rely on has kept us on the margins of society. This system has housed us in her worsthomes, educated our children in her worst schools, locked up our men at disproportionate rates andshamed our women for receiving the support they need to be our mothers. This system you have admonished us to believe in has consistently, unfailingly, and unabashedly let us down and kicked us out, time and time again.

This same system in which you’ve told us to trust—this same system meant to serve and protect citizens-- has once again killed two more of our unarmed brothers: Walking up a staircase and shot down in cold blood, we fight for Akai Gurley; Playing with a toy after police had been warned that he held a bb gun and not a real gun at only

twelve years old, we fight for Tamir Rice.

So you will likely ask yourself, now that the announcement has been made, why we will still take to the streets? Why we will still raise our voices to protect our community? Why will still cry tears of heartbreak and sing songs of determination?

We will continue to struggle because without struggle, there is no progress.

We will continue to disrupt life, because without disruption we fear for our lives.

We will continue because Assata reminds us daily that “it is our duty to fight for freedom. It is our duty to win. We must love and support one another. We have nothing to lose but our chains.”

Those chains have bound us-all of us- up for too long. And do not be mistaken- if one of us is bound, we all are. We are, altogether, bound up in a system that continues to treat some men better than others.A system that preserves some and disregards others. A system that protects the rights of some and does not guard the rights of all.

And until this system is dismantled, until the status quo that deems us less valuable than others is no longer acceptable or profitable, we will struggle. We will fight. We will protest.

Grief, even in its most righteous state, cannot last forever. No community can sustain itself this way.

So we still continue to stand for progress, and stand alongside anyone who will make a personal investment in ending our grief and will take a personal stake in achieving justice.

We march on with purpose. The work continues. This is not a moment but a movement. The movement lives.

This letter was written and signed by numerous protestors and supporters, too many to list. Permission is granted in advance for reproduction by all outlets.

Very interesting take by the young man that was on CNN just now protesting in NYC. Said they wanted confrontation and that's it's been unusually and unexpectedly mild. I think some of these people are prepared to take this to the next level, great to see.

Don't think anyone in their right mind would have done something like that lol, but I think you're more than likely right

I don't know why it would be a civil war since it's not only blacks protesting many other ethnicity and races are in this as well. If you're speaking of a "war" between the power structure and the community then I don't know how that would play out. At least for now it seems like the movement will be sustained at the very least, especially with this 12 year old's death in CLE. I don't know if it has to escalate to a level of bloodshed, but it does seem that people are doing more than just marches and willing to do more ie (get arrested, economic pressure, disrupt transportation).

Don't know about civil war but I definitely don't think it is over, and I would be scared to find out what some of these anarchist are down to do
